Engineering services
MEAB provides advanced engineering services for the development and implementation of hydrometallurgical processes, with particular expertise in solvent extraction. Our customers range from industrial companies and recycling plants to research institutes and authorities working in the fields of environmental technology, waste management or metal recycling.
Hydrometallurgical expertise
Feasibility study and assessment
MEAB offers comprehensive engineering services in hydrometallurgy, with particular expertise in solvent extraction. We support customers from the initial concept phase to full-scale implementation of metal recycling processes.
Our engineering services include:
-
Feasibility studies and analyses: We analyse chemical data, process conditions and economic frameworks to assess the feasibility and profitability of the process.
-
Detailed process design: Development of process flow diagrams (PFD), P&ID drawings, equipment and system specifications.
-
Equipment specification and procurement: We specify and assist in the procurement of the necessary equipment for the realisation of the process.
-
Installation and commissioning: Support during installation, commissioning and training to ensure an efficient and safe start-up of the plant.
Our services are designed to meet the needs of both research and industrial contexts, with the aim of delivering sustainable and efficient metal recycling solutions.

BASIC ENGINEERING WORK
Detailed design and engineering
After a successful feasibility study, the next step is to turn theory into reality. In this phase, we produce all the technical documentation and engineering required to build, install and commission a hydrometallurgical process plant. We work closely with the customer to ensure that each solution is customised, feasible and efficient - all the way from drawing board to finished process.
Once the feasibility study shows that the process is technically and economically feasible, we take the project to the next level - the detailed design phase. Here we develop complete technical documentation for the procurement, construction and commissioning of the entire plant. We produce drawings, dimensioning and specifications for all parts of the process: from main equipment and pipework to electrical, control systems and construction. Using advanced tools and extensive experience, we ensure that your solution is well thought-out, safe, efficient - and ready for reality.
