We worked with NRCan in our batch testing. A protocol was set up with SNC Lavalin, and all the tests were executed at NRCan facilities in CANMET, Devon, with the assistance of Dr. Hamza. We also had it at the University of Alberta with Dr. Jacob Masliyah, who was twice NSERC chair on the oil sands. They cross-validated all the data.
The oil sands industry participated with us in all those tests. The positive results led to the conclusion that this technology does have potential. Let's bring it to the next phase. Let's do it at the preliminary engineering design for continuous flow process.
From there we went and tested each component at the OEM to see what the reaction would be in that component.
So we've lined everything up. We've got all the components sized properly, lined up properly, and we can go ahead and execute our pilot project, which will be good.
