The Boeing Company – Model G60 InEnTec constructed a Model G60 PEM® in 1998 at an Energy Northwest (formerly WPPSS) facility in Richland, Washington to develop scaling factors for larger PEM® systems and to evaluate additional system components to be included on full-scale systems. The G60 began operations in February 1999 and was run for about ten months, performing numerous proof of process tests and treatability studies. After being shut down, the equipment was dismantled and certain components were incorporated into a system sold to the Boeing Company in 2001. The unit was delivered in early 2002 to BioPure Systems SDN BHD in Malaysia, a company Boeing established to own and operate the system. Boeing initially purchased the system as part of a military offset program, but it has not yet needed to fund the offsets. As such, the system has not yet been installed. |
