Big delays in the commercialisation of its SWERF (solid waste energy recycling facility) technology over the past year - due in large part to technical glitches with the char gasifier - have seen share investors lose patience with the clean energy producer.
Brightstar Environmental, the Energy Developments' subsidiary driving the project said they had undertaken detailed design and fabrication of the new equipment at the company's premises in Brisbane. Once installed and successfully commissioned, the company said it will recommence testing the commercial capacity of the entire SWERF process.
"Over the past three months the company has undertaken an intensive investigation into alternative designs for the gasification of the char residue," said EnergyDevelopments MD Paul Whiteman.
