"The key elements here are the range and size of the furnaces and rig construction facilities, the fact that burn products on this site are totally contained makes it environmentally secure, and perhaps most important, the synergy with IFT offers technical research that can makes the facility able to accomodate most global standards", CTIF special adviser Dennis Davis said to CTIF NEWS after the event.
