Dumping Toronto garage in the Adams Mine may be a distant memory, but Nor-Arc Steel Fabricators may have a solution for the Big Smoke with some leading edge incinerator technology.
The Earlton company received a $482,500 loan from FedNor to develop a pilot-scale waste incineration system that processes local waste and captures the thermal energy it produces.
The money is earmarked for the engineering and fabrication company to create a prototype incineration plant that can process 20,000 tons of residential waste and turn into green energy.
The technology is being promoted as a waste management solution to large cities.
“This funding will also help us increase sales, expand into new markets, improve efficiencies and productivity, and form strategic international alliances that will result in the creation of local jobs,” said Nor-Arc general manager Mario Léveillé in a statement.
“The investment announced today will help Nor-Arc Steel Fabricators to develop and commercialize
an innovative system that could offer new and efficient ways for small communities to manage
their waste processing and energy production needs,” added Nipissing-Timiskaming MP Jay Aspin.
