Aduro Clean Technologies Shifts NGP Pilot Plant to Full Operations, Paving Way for Commercial Scale-Up
Pilot Plant Now in Active Campaigns: Real-World Testing Takes Center Stage
Aduro Clean Technologies has reached a significant milestone by moving its Next Generation Process (NGP) Pilot Plant from commissioning and setup into full operating campaigns in London, Ontario. The transition marks the project’s evolution from construction and integration to hands-on process operations, with dedicated teams now collecting operational data under industrial-like conditions that reflect the intended path to commercialization.
Operational Readiness Established: Full Training and Technical Upskilling Completed
With the close-out of commissioning activities, all major systems—process, utilities, automation, and safety—are now fully integrated. Aduro has completed a structured training program for its operations team, ensuring technical proficiency in process control, troubleshooting, and response to both standard and abnormal conditions. These preparations are tailored to support longer-duration campaigns and data capture essential for scaling up the technology.
Key Initiatives: Supporting Commercial Scale-Up and Customer Engagement
The NGP Pilot Plant’s current focus is threefold: validating process stability, optimizing operating conditions, and qualifying a range of customer-supplied feedstocks. Campaigns are designed to generate high-resolution performance data, which will influence engineering and procurement for Aduro’s upcoming First-of-a-Kind (FOAK) commercial facility. The table below summarizes the pilot’s core priorities:
| Core Focus | Operational Milestone | Expected Output |
|---|---|---|
| Process Validation | Shift from commissioning to integrated campaigns | Stability and repeatability data |
| Feedstock Qualification | Customer and real-world samples under test | Performance across variable compositions |
| Commercial Scale Readiness | Support FOAK engineering and design | Input for equipment selection and planning |
Progress on FOAK Facility: Engineering Decisions Guided by Live Data
Aduro is actively advancing the development of its FOAK plant, with site selection already complete and equipment evaluation underway. Importantly, real-time operating data from the NGP Pilot Plant—enabled by industrial-grade automation systems from Siemens—will play a central role in optimizing design, refining process control strategies, and streamlining long-lead procurement decisions for the larger facility.
Milestone Supports Commercialization Path and Customer Engagement
In the words of CEO Ofer Vicus, the pilot’s transition into structured operations “advances our path to commercialization and deepens stakeholder engagement.” The expanded technical team and new operational insights are intended to bridge the gap between lab achievements and industrial-scale reality, forming the foundation for stakeholder partnerships and customer relationships.
Takeaway: Real-World Data and Technical Experience Accelerate Aduro’s Scale-Up Plans
The commissioning and operational launch of Aduro’s NGP Pilot Plant is a major inflection point—as the company now has the platform to refine its Hydrochemolytic™ technology using real feedstocks over extended periods. The disciplined buildup of technical expertise and data will underpin engineering decisions for Aduro’s first commercial plant and offer prospective partners tangible proof of process performance. This milestone, while technical in nature, moves Aduro one step closer to scaling its unique clean-tech solution for waste plastics and low-value feedstocks.
