Sprintex Ltd (ASX:SIX) has met all performance targets in a high-temperature test of its custom-built compressors for Mest Water’s ammonia-reducing systems and will now deliver 20 units to the launch customer worth $1 million.
The company built a specialised test cell to put the high temperature compressor through its paces, allowing advanced testing for all future custom compressor projects.
The results from this round of testing aligned closely with software simulations, reaching temperatures of up to 90 degrees Celsius and confirming stability of performance under extreme conditions.
Testing facility to officially open in October
“We are thrilled to confirm that our specialised compressor team is not only on schedule and on budget for this important program but has also replicated our simulated compressor performance and efficiency maps in initial real-world testing.
“After building a dedicated test facility for high-temperature conditions, our team has confirmed the intended efficiencies and performance at 90°C intake temperatures, setting the stage for a successful commissioning in early October in Europe.”
Mest Water’s launch customer requires 400 compressor units in total, offering a significant opportunity for future sales should SIX’s initial offering of 20 units meet expectations.
There is also a large broader market for Mest Water’s ZLD-Up system paired with Sprintex compressors which could generate up to $150 million in revenue for Sprintex over the next five years, positioning SIX to support its customers in meeting growing regulatory demands across Europe and the world.
“We are excited that we have secured a 31,000-cubic-metre facility to manufacture our patented ZLD-Up system,” Mest Water Techniek principal Arjan Mensink said.
“With strong interest in the technology, and backing from the Dutch government, we are accelerating production to meet rising demand.
“With the dedicated Sprintex compressor, we can confidently bring this program to market and make a significant impact on ammonia emissions, not just in the Netherlands, but across Europe and beyond.”
