Engitec Research Center (ERC) – The Scientific Approach
Since the very beginning of Engitec history, research and innovative solutions have represented the background and the foundation of the Company leadership in International Markets.
For this reason, one of the most important assets of the Company is its Research Center known as ERC standing for Engitec Research Center. At the present time, ERC center occupies senior chemists, process engineers and laboratory technicians. All together represents approximately 8% of the overall workforce. The basic philosophy of ERC is to combine university and industrial research by sharing our excellent skills and engaging our best researchers to achieve objectives of common interest.
Any new idea and any new technical solution are developed in lab or pilot scale and tested in ERC before being launched on the Market. Furthermore, ERC thanks to its modern and well-equipped laboratory, is capable of providing assistance and tailor-made solutions to the Clients who are unlikely facing issues with any process and/or chemical aspects relevant to pyro or hydro metallurgical process for the recovery of nonferrous waste.
During the years some 30 international patents have been filed by Engitec giving a remarkable contribution to the nonferrous recycling industry.
During the years ERC has conceived, designed and manufactured several Pilots Plants as listed here below:

During the years ERC has conceived, designed and manufactured several Pilots Plants as listed here below:
- FAST Pilot Plant – The hydrometallurgical process for the treatment of the paste recovered from exhaust Lead/Acid Batteries
- EZINEX Pilot Plant – for the recovery, in lab scale, ox Zn from the waste fumes of EAF
- SPL Pilot Plant – for the treatment and recovery of the waste material coming from the demolition of exhaust cells of the primary aluminium smelters
The Recovery
of Lithium-Ion Batteries
ENGITEC, as a member of the IPCEI EuBatIn, is studying and developing an INNOVATIVE EFFICIENT AND SAFE DISMANTLING PROCESS TECHNOLOGY FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES.
The innovativeness of the system proposed is IN THE CONCEPT AND REALIZATION OF A NEW:
Therefore, ENGITEC will be able to offer to the Market:
The innovativeness of the system proposed is IN THE CONCEPT AND REALIZATION OF A NEW:
- MODULAR, INTERLOCKING, ONE FOR ALL SHAPED RECYCLING PLANT, INCLUDING A SOLVENT RECOVERY SYSTEM IN ORDER TO ENHANCE THE CIRCULARITY OF THE PROCESS AND REDUCE THE WASTES TREATMENTS OPERATIONS
- ABLE TO PLAY IN THE COMPLEX FUTURE SCENARIO OF DIFFERENT BATTERIES FOR DIFFERENT PURPOSES FOR DIFFERENT USERS IN DIFFERENT GEO-AREAS WITH DIFFERENT RESTRICTIONS AND DIFFERENT, IF NOT EVEN SCARCE, RAW MATERIALS SOURCES
Therefore, ENGITEC will be able to offer to the Market:
- Feasible Turnkey multiple LiB recycling plants from Engineering to Procurement, Construction, Start-up and Commissioning with technical Assistance as well as
- Feasible Turnkey multiple LiB recycling plants from Engineering to Procurement, Construction, Start-up and Commissioning with technical Assistance as well as • Customized solutions in line with the specific clients’ needs which go from design and layout to “license to use”, Service and Maintenance Assistance to complete plants.
