This will resume as soon as the situation in China allows.\nThe testing of the fire tube boiler has been relocated to a different site. The new site is not restricted by the schedule of the heating season, and will allow for testing after the heating season is over, if required. The testing will also now take place in a boiler that is not in use for facility heating, which allows more flexibility in the timing of the installation, optimization and testing.\n\"At this time, given the performance we have observed of our water tube burner technology and having found an alternative host for our fire tube burner technology, we have planned for and intend that both projects will be completed this season. However, the situation in China does create challenges, particularly to the water tube project that is restricted to the Chinese heating season,\" said Jim Deller Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of ClearSign. \"We are continuing to monitor the situation in China, balancing the concern for safety of our employees with eagerness to proceed and will adapt accordingly.\" \nThe initial test firing of the ClearSign burners at the World Oil site in California was undertaken this past wee...
