CLEAN • SMART • REFINING
Feedstock-agnostic, closed-loop hydrometallurgical technology powered by AI process control and our digital-twin platform. Zero liquid discharge. Near-zero solid waste. Energy consumption 60–75% below conventional pyrometallurgical refining. SYNCORE™ operates at moderate, near-ambient temperatures, enabling deployment across North America.
Lithium-ion black mass, spodumene concentrates, nickel sulfide concentrates, and cathode manufacturing scrap all flow through the same unit operations. Only process parameters change.
Advanced hydrometallurgical process using solid-liquid extraction at moderate temperatures, with significantly lower energy intensity than traditional pyrometallurgy.
Li carbonate and hydroxide at >99% purity. Ni and Co sulfates to customer specifications. Consistent batch-to-batch quality meeting aerospace, defence, and battery qualification requirements.
Machine learning models integrated into operational control. Real-time adjustments optimize recovery and purity across the distributed network. Every SYNHUB™ learns from the entire grid.
Sensor data flows into predictive models calculating optimal parameters continuously.
Virtual representations of each refining stage synchronized with physical operations.
Process improvements from all nodes deploy automatically across the network.

Nickel and cobalt sulfates built to your specification. Controlled trace metal profiles that pass battery, aerospace, and advanced industrial qualification, delivered consistently across every production batch.
Minimum Purity Across All Output Streams
Zero Liquid Discharge, Standard by Design
Process water circulates. Reagents are recovered and reused. Waste streams are reduced to filter cake, safe for disposal or further processing. Zero liquid discharge isn’t an aspiration at SYNCORE™. It’s the baseline.
SYNCORE™ units are modular, deployable at multiple scales without rebuilding from scratch. Each SYNHUB™ node expands in step with feedstock availability and offtake commitments. No overbuilt infrastructure. No wasted capital.
TPA Per SYNHUB™ Node
Scope 1, 2 and 3 Ready by Design
Every kilogram tracked. Every step documented. SYNCORE™ is designed to satisfy Scope 1, 2, and 3 reporting requirements for downstream manufacturers, with full chain-of-custody records that hold up to regulatory scrutiny and sustainability audits.
Syntra Refining is currently onboarding strategic partners for the 2027 production cycle.
