Testing and commissioning program continues
• Longer-term testing showing excellent results
• High quality synthesis gas produced from multiple feed-stocks
• Customer enquiries rising
PowerHouse announces that the testing program begun by its wholly owned subsidiary Pyromex AG ("Pyromex") continues successfully and that the level of customer enquiries to view the operation of the 5 tonne per day unit at Schwartzenbach, Switzerland has risen significantly since testing commenced.
The initial phases of testing, including repeated thermal cycling, long-duration 'dry' operation and the continuous feed of multiple feed-stocks has shown considerable promise for the commercial delivery of the platform on schedule.
As part of the testing programme, Pyromex will be seeking to obtain full EU Compliance Certification for the smaller 5 tonne per day unit which it expects to achieve within the next 30 days.
The testing program and customer demonstrations will continue for the near future with commercial delivery expected in early 2014.
Commenting on the testing results Keith Allaun, Chairman of PowerHouse said: "Our results to date are exceeding our expectations. The platform is doing what it was designed for: converting waste into high quality synthesis gas which can be readily converted into electricity cheaply and efficiently."

Note to Editors:
PowerHouse is the holding company of Pyromex AG, the owner of patented modular Ultra High Temperature gasification technology. By operating at above 1,000 degrees Celsius, the Pyromex Ultra High Temperature Gasification Reactor converts any organic matter into a stream of synthesis gas from which all potential toxins, tars, or pollutants have been completely degraded and rendered safe. The system effectively reduces the volume of waste by over 95 per cent. leaving only a non-toxic, non-leaching grit which can be used in the construction industry.
