Burnaby, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 5, 2023) - Aether Catalyst Solutions, Inc. (CSE: ATHR) (FSE:2QZ) ("ATHR" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has shipped the first batch of catalyst for integration with our development partner's innovative catalyst substrate.
Shipment of the catalyst material took longer than expected due to the need to synthesize the catalyst in a form and quantity outside our typical operating parameters. The synthesis process was scaled up nearly 100 times. In order to meet technical specifications outlined by our development partner; Aether had to acquire new equipment and develop entirely new procedures to reach the target quality metrics. Aether now has the capability to synthesize the catalyst of interest in a form and of a quality that is considered compatible with our partner's process requirements. We anticipate development activities proceeding more fluidly in the future.
Our partner will integrate the catalyst into its substrate, perform various characterization analyses, and then ship the product back to Aether for testing in our reactor. Once this initial calibration and benchmarking phase is completed, the refinement process will begin, with the end goal being an automotive part.
Taylor Procyk, Aether's COO, states, "The team put in a lot of hard work over the last few months to get here. The challenges are always significant when any kind of scale-up is involved. It's very exciting to be taking the first steps in a project with such high potential."
