AETHER CATALYST SOLUTIONS, INC. ENGAGES NUWAVE RESEARCH INC. FOR PROOF-OF-CONCEPT STUDY
Burnaby, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – December 8, 2021) – Aether Catalyst Solutions, Inc. (CSE: ATHR) (FSE: 2QZ) (“ATHR” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has engaged NuWave Research Inc. of Burnaby, B.C., to conduct a proof-of-concept study evaluating their microwave-assisted processing technology for use in the manufacture of Aether’s catalyst.
An even and uniform coating of catalyst on substrate bricks is necessary for optimal performance of a catalytic system. Over the last three decades, catalyst coaters have developed proprietary technologies, processes, and equipment to facilitate that result. Lacking access to those technologies, processes, and equipment, at this stage, Aether has had to jury-rig processes and equipment to attempt to optimize coating – essentially reinventing the wheel. However, these improvised systems do not scale well, and lead to unoptimized catalytic systems and the resultant lower performance. For example, Aether’s larger scale catalysts have sub-optimal coating in their centres – dramatically lowering performance.
