REC SILICON ASA
Due to delays in completing the clean-up process to improve product consistency and remove impurities, the first delivery of product from this facility is now expected to occur around
As previously disclosed, Silane 3 is fully ramped and running stably and a portion of the granular polysilicon reactors are online with their output balanced to utilize the facility’s silane production. The post reactor polishing and finishing processes are operating but continue to be a source of added impurity to the finished product. It is normal for a facility startup to undergo a cleanup process as various parts naturally passivate due to the interaction with materials, flows and temperatures. However, this process is taking longer than anticipated and is the direct cause of the delay to the first delivery of product.
The Company has a dedicated task force comprised of engineering, research and development, operations, quality analysis and outside experts to expedite the cleanup process. The focus of the task force is to achieve the quality target as quickly as possible so that product deliveries may commence as well as to implement solutions for expedited methods of cleaning up the system in the future.
As a leading producer of silane gases and silicon materials,
