MONTREAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ecolomondo Corporation (TSXV: ECM) (OTC: ECLMF) (the “Company” or “Ecolomondo”), a cleantech company specializing in the commercialization of its Thermal Decomposition Process (“TDP”) proprietary recycling technology and the global deployment of TDP turnkey facilities, is pleased to announce that it reached a new milestone in its ramp-up phase.
The Company has focused its efforts on the beginning of commercial production at its Hawkesbury TDP facility. After performing initial test batches, the Company increased its batch payload to 10,000 lbs during another successful batch completed on May 24, 2023.
This batch size of 10,000 lbs used 564 end-of-life tires (“ELTs”) to produce 3,800 lbs of carbon black, 15 barrels of oil and 1,150 lbs of process gas, and including 1,287 lbs of steel and 564 lbs of fiber that were extracted from the scrap tires during the shredding stage. This batch is expected to generate gross revenues of C$5,853, including tipping fees collected for processing ELTs.
Previously in this year, our technical teams performed numerous test runs using both Reactors 1 and 2. These test runs allowed them to acquire the necessary knowledge and experience to improve process efficiency, validate capacity of burners, evacuation system and all thermal apparatus.
Once reactor payloads have successfully achieved the 15,000 lbs threshold, the Company expects to start with the final stage of its ramp-up phase, starting with one batch per day, followed by 2 batches per day and ending with 3 batches per day for each of the two reactors.
While management is optimistic of its schedule, it cautions that further ramp-up testing may bring to light certain adjustments that may require adjustments from time to time.

On the social aspect the Company plans to measure global health and safety, injury rate and gender diversity, and finally in the corporate governance aspect, the Company is measuring ethics and anticorruption, ESG reporting and board independence.
About TDP
The TDP process is technically proven and more advanced than most other pyrolysis technologies. Over the years, our Technological teams were able to overcome all uncertainties that plagued most competitors especially in these areas: pre-filtration, reactor cooling, reactor rotation, reactor evacuation, water recycling, cleaning of rCB, (hydrocarbon removal), mass monitoring, heat curve development, humidity and water removal, safety testing, system automation, emissions control and monitoring, rCB and pyrolysis oil post processing, efficient syngas reuse.
TDP is Environmentally Friendly – CO2 Reduction
By producing rCB, TDP reduces GHG emissions by 90% versus the production of virgin carbon black. The production of rCB at the Hawkesbury and Shamrock facilities are expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 22,400 and 67,200 tons per year, respectively.
