Standardized Scaling

Undisclosed

Novalith's technology lends itself to a repeatable design which can scale in standardized phases. With no hazardous sulfuric acid, operations are simplified and costs are lower than the traditional sulfuric acid roast process.

Modular by design

Replicable units allow for improved cost and schedule control. Incremental improvements become easier to identify and implement.

Replicable anywhere

No sulfuric acid and no bulk hazardous waste removes many constraints typically encountered with the conventional acid roast process.

Commissioning and training before mechanical completion

SION™ expedites commissioning and allows operators to train on the digital twin before the plant is in steel. This shifts operational expertise earlier and delivers value sooner.

SION™ driving future growth and improved efficiency

SION™ optimizes the plant and captures learnings which can be shared with each successive unit.
