Title:
(Assignment Agreement) Development of innovative processing control systems critical minerals processing technology process flow and design
Agreement Number:
1040152
Agreement Value:
$48,800.00
Agreement Date:
Dec 8, 2025 - Mar 31, 2026
Description:
Syntra will develop advanced process control systems for critical minerals recovery technology, optimizing extraction efficiency and reducing energy consumption. The project involves creating integrated control systems for sequence-based recovery circuits with real-time monitoring and adaptive parameter adjustment for variable feedstock. Leveraging learnings from developing collaborations, we'll build automation data to advance industry control language development. Expected outcomes include 20% reduction in energy/consumables usage, enhanced scalability to commercial operations, and improved recovery consistency across diverse feed sources.
