Local treatment of CRMs
Butter Bridge is a technology consultancy with deep experience in extractive metallurgical processes. Butter Bridge has developed a plan to treat residues containing critical raw materials (CRMs) in the Netherlands, producing CRMs such as copper, cobalt, nickel and vanadium.
By using high temperature processes, Butter Bridge will be able to treat larger and smaller batches of complex CRM containing residue streams.
Earlier this year Butter Bridge successfully treated several CRM containing residues in their Proof of Principle installations. Butter Bridge expects to have a proof of concept installation operational in Q4 2024. The chosen location for the proof of concept installation is Delfzijl as this region in the Netherlands has an extensive and well developed industrial CRM network and has a long history in high temperature metal smelting processes.
When fully operational Butter Bridge will offer:
- High temperature treatment (s)melting using electrical furnaces at temperatures up to 2000°C
- Metallurgical knowledge
- Independence
Consultancy Green Steel and Green cement
Besides processing of CRMs, Butter Bridge is a well-known consultant in the field of large-scale electrification of pyrometallurgical processes with a focus on decarbonisation:
- Green steel production, both reduction with H2 and electric smelting
- Green cement production with electric smelting furnaces
