[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\nMONTREAL, Nov. 26, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - PyroGenesis Canada Inc.\n (\"PyroGenesis\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV: PYR), an environmental\n solutions company that designs, develops and manufactures plasma\n waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch products, is proud to be\n highlighted as one of the key high tech advances being showcased in\n America's first next-gen aircraft carrier (http://news.cnet.com/8301-11386_3-57611603-76/americas-first-next-gen-aircraft-carrier-takes-high-tech-to-sea/)\n\n\nThe USS Gerald Ford (CVN-78) carrier was christened two weeks ago and is\n the first of the most advanced class of aircraft carriers ever built\n with the last carrier being delivered over 10 years ago. PyroGenesis'\n patented Plasma Arc Waste Destruction System (PAWDS) was highlighted as\n one of the key advanced technologies featured on this state of the art\n vessel.  Developed by PyroGenesis in Canada, this green technology is\n able to process waste generated by 5000 sailors and can be operated\n with the push of a single button.\n\n\n\"This is indeed a great moment not only for PyroGenesis but Canada as a\n whole.  To have our technology highlighted as the green technology of\n choice on one of the most advanced technology platforms in the world is\n clearly a defining moment for Canada; akin to the deployment of the\n CanadaArm on the International space station\", said P. Peter Pascali,\n President and CEO of PyroGenesis\n\n\n\"PyroGenesis' system was chosen in a highly competitive environment; its\n design is five times smaller and half the weight of a conventional\n marine incinerator.  The launch of the USS Gerald Ford reaffirms PAWDS\n as a proven and state of the art solution for waste management, and\n underscores PyroGenesis' ability to handle extremely complex/hazardous\n waste challenges that no other technology can contend with. As such\n PyroGenesis is expanding the use of PAWDS as a mobile land based waste\n destruction solution for hazardous liquid and gaseous wastes\", said\n Gillian Holcroft, Executive VP, Strategic Alliances for PyroGenesis.\n\n\n\"This is the first new aircraft carrier class since the USS Nimitz in\n 1968, and America's first new carrier of any kind since the USS George\n H.W. Bush was completed in 2003.  The USS Gerald R. Ford is the\n first-of-its-class carrier, ushering...
