Hsinchu – September 11, 2026 -- Spirox Corporation (TWSE: 3055) has launched the SP7000G High-Speed TGV Crack Inspection System, a tool capable of scanning a full 510 mm x 515 mm glass substrate panel in under 20 minutes to detect internal microcracks in high-volume Glass Core and Through Glass Via (TGV) manufacturing.

New system targets microcrack detection after critical build-up processes

The SP7000G is designed to identify internal microcracks that emerge after metallization and Ajinomoto Build-up Film (ABF) processes, key stages in advanced packaging production. Spirox positions the system to improve inspection efficiency, monitor process quality and defect distribution, and optimize manufacturing yield as TGV technology scales toward high-volume output.

York, Pa. – September 11, 2026 -- Air Dynamics Industrial Systems Corporation is pushing manufacturers to recover energy already generated inside their facilities rather than purchasing new equipment to boost efficiency.

Company shifts focus from single exhaust stacks to full facility energy flow

"We don't want to look at one exhaust stack or one piece of equipment in isolation," said Dan Lehman, President of Air Dynamics Industrial Systems Corporation. The engineering firm evaluates heated exhaust air, process air, equipment heat, hot process streams, compressed-air systems and ventilation as potential recovery sources.

Calgary – September 11, 2026 -- Canadian Energy Metals Corp. (CEM) has achieved proof-of-concept for producing Smelter Grade Alumina (SGA) from a non-bauxite resource, marking a potential shift in North America's aluminum supply chain, and has formally commenced its Prefeasibility Study (PFS) for the Thor Project in northeast Saskatchewan.

CEM's process converts black shale into alumina matching Bayer Process purity standards

The company's testing process converts boehmite, derived from precursors linked to High Purity Alumina (HPA) and Chemical Grade Alumina (CGA), into SGA that consistently matches the purity and specifications of alumina produced through the Bayer Process, the current industry standard for refining bauxite. SGA is the principal feedstock for aluminum metal production, and CEM's results were achieved without relying on bauxite, the conventional ore source.

Calgary, AB – September 11, 2026 -- Canadian Energy Metals Corp. (CEM) has demonstrated proof-of-concept for producing smelter grade alumina (SGA) from a non-bauxite resource, matching the purity and specifications of SGA produced via the industry-standard Bayer process.

CEM converts boehmite into SGA matching Bayer-process purity

The process, tested at CEM's Thor Project in northeastern Saskatchewan near Tisdale, converts boehmite derived from high-purity alumina (HPA) and chemical-grade alumina (CGA) precursors into SGA -- the primary feedstock for aluminum metal production. Samples consistently met the purity and specification benchmarks of Bayer-process SGA, the current global standard for smelter feedstock.

Calgary, AB – September 11, 2026 -- Canadian Energy Metals Corp. (CEM) has validated a proof of concept for producing smelter-grade alumina (SGA) from a non-bauxite resource, and has formally launched a prefeasibility study (PFS) for its Thor project in northeastern Saskatchewan, near Tisdale.

CEM's boehmite conversion process matches Bayer-process alumina purity

Testing on boehmite derived from precursors linked to high-purity alumina (HPA) and chemical-grade alumina (CGA) consistently produced samples matching the purity and technical characteristics of SGA made via the Bayer process, the current industry standard for bauxite refining. SGA is the primary feedstock for metallic aluminum production.
