CLEAN • SMART • REFINING
Feedstock-agnostic, closed-loop hydrometallurgical technology powered by AI process control and our digital-twin platform. Designed for zero liquid discharge and near-zero solid waste. Operating at moderate, near-ambient temperatures, targeting substantially lower energy intensity than pyrometallurgical routes, and deployable across North America without heavy utility infrastructure.
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 targeting >99% purity. Ni and Co sulfates to customer specifications. Output quality designed to meet 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.

SYNCORE™ is designed to produce nickel and cobalt sulfates to tight trace metal profiles targeting battery, aerospace, and advanced industrial qualification standards. Purity specifications are being validated through ongoing process development.
SYNCORE™ is engineered with process water circulation, reagent recovery and reuse, and waste reduction to filter cake as core design requirements, not afterthoughts. Zero liquid discharge is built into the process architecture from the ground up.
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.
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 built to withstand regulatory scrutiny and sustainability audits.
Syntra Refining is currently onboarding strategic partners for the 2027 production cycle.
