Aduro Clean Technologies Provides Update on NGP Pilot Plant Commissioning

Executive Summary

• Aduro Clean Technologies reports that its Next Generation Process (NGP) Pilot Plant in London, Ontario has moved from Phase 1 to Phase 2 commissioning on schedule.
• Core modules—including the extruder, Zeton‑fabricated process skids, and Siemens automation network—are installed and undergoing staged testing, wet runs, and system tuning through mid‑December 2025.
• Operator training and development of standard operating procedures are underway to prepare for continuous operation and future scale‑up toward the planned 8,000 t/yr Demonstration Plant.

Key Details

• Phase Transition: Phase 1 (assembly, installation, SAT/FAT) completed; Phase 2 commissioning began in October 2025.
• Equipment Status:
• Extruder – Site Acceptance Test (SAT) successfully completed.
• Process skids (Zeton Inc.) – Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) passed and shipped to site.
• Siemens Canada – Automation, control, and communication systems installed; ongoing calibration and validation.
• Commissioning Activities (Phase 2): Sequential testing, subsystem verification, wet runs, process tuning scheduled through November–mid‑December 2025.
• Operator Readiness: Planned training sessions and development of standardized operating procedures to ensure readiness for continuous plant operation.
• Purpose of Pilot Plant: Validate Hydrochemolytic™ Technology in continuous mode, establish operating parameters across target feedstocks, generate product samples and quality data, confirm mass/energy balances, yields, controllability, and support environmental assessments and lifecycle analyses.
• Future Outlook: Data and experience from Phase 2 will inform design basis and integration approach for the Demonstration Plant (8,000 t/yr capacity).
• Key Partners: Zeton Inc. (process skids fabrication & integration) and Siemens Canada (automation & control systems) remain actively engaged during commissioning.
