TECNALIA takes part in a meeting on digital transformation
Company
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.
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.
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.
Market situation
DIGIMET, based on its patented technology, seeks to provide circular economy solutions through the use of recoverable elements present in industrial waste, with a Zero Waste philosophy and enabling its self-management by waste generators themselves.
