NORAM Engineering
is an independent engineering and technology company based in
Vancouver, BC. The company has made its mark internationally by
designing proprietary systems for the chemicals, metallurgical, and
pulp and paper industries. As well as being a shareholder in MRT, NORAM
has been a supporter and contributor to MRT's technology since the
early stages of the proof-of-concept work. The company's credibility
and experience in commercializing technologies will be crucial in the
