Technology Origins
EDT's
technology evolved from a concentrated effort at the University of Georgia
beginning in the late 1980s by Dr. Karl-Erik Eriksson. The laboratory and pilot plant work led to major process and technical
breakthroughs, leading to mill-scale trials that became the foundation for EDT's
formation and growth.
