TECNALIA is developing a web tool for smart building demolition
DIGIMET provides sustainable and profitable solutions for treating and recovering industrial by-products and waste that contain metals and their oxides, making it possible to recover existing high value metals.
The activity is based on a concept of a plasma-heated high efficiency metallurgical furnace, developed and patented by the company.
Our solution
DIGIMET is based on a modular, innovative and versatile technology; this allows us to provide a service in accordance with the needs of our customers, which can be adapted to different types of waste and different treatment volumes.
In this regard, the solutions are flexible, efficient and profitable in themselves, defining zero-waste industrial processes with a clear focus on the circular economy.
The technology
DIGIMET technology is protected by two patent families and combines extensive know-how of metallurgical processes with design and industrial engineering applied to recovering high value metals from industrial waste and by-products.
The recovery and valorisation systems are based on high power thermal plasma, whereby pyrometallurgical processes with intensive energy consumption reduce their carbon footprint and environmental impact.
Advantages
- Flexible and versatile
- Economically profitable in itself
- Modular
- Efficient for in-house treatment.
- Aimed at zero waste processes
- Adaptable to end user needs
- High ROI.
