Energy Recovery Provides Update on VorTeq™ Testing
During a routine physical examination of the cartridges and system, we identified a potential material grade selection concern and / or an issue with the material batch, specifically on the cartridge end-covers. To ensure successful completion of the milestone testing process, we made the decision to temporarily suspend testing and work directly with our suppliers to expedite optimized components. However, with the combination of manufacturing time and the upcoming holidays, it is unlikely that we conclude milestone testing prior to year-end.
The exact timing of receipt and qualification of new components is uncertain, but we do expect to resume the milestone process early in the New Year and will provide updates accordingly. While disappointed we were unable to complete milestone testing this year due to the material re-order, the process to date has only solidified that the VorTeq works and furthermore performs to the contractual KPIs for flow and pressure. We remain confident in the success of this revolutionary technology and focused on the ultimate goal and prize for our investors: commercialization."
