A demonstration concept by Exergist Innovations
From complex feedstocks to the right expertise.
hydrometallurgical.com helps project owners turn unclear material questions into well-prepared briefs — then matches those briefs to the laboratories, pilot facilities, process developers, engineers, and equipment suppliers equipped to answer them.
- 5 capability categories
- Working brief builder
- Proposed C$750 pilot
The concept
A matching layer between your material problem and the market
Most hydrometallurgical projects stall not because expertise is missing, but because the problem was never described precisely enough for the right expert to engage. This site is built around fixing that first step.
01
You describe the problem
The brief builder walks you through feedstock, target product, stage, scale, and constraints — producing a document a supplier can quote against.
02
We scope the research
With a brief in hand, we research which categories of expertise fit: testing, piloting, flowsheet development, engineering, or equipment.
03
You stay in control
Shortlists come to you with reasoning attached. You contact suppliers directly; we never sit between you, your material, or your data.
Capabilities
Five kinds of expertise, one directory
The demonstration directory spans the categories most hydrometallurgical projects move through.
Laboratories
Assay, mineralogy, and metallurgical testing on bench-scale samples.
Browse laboratoriesPilot facilities
Continuous rigs and column trials that de-risk flowsheets before full scale.
Browse pilot facilitiesProcess developers
Flowsheet selection, reagent schemes, and recovery route development.
Browse process developersEngineering
Process design packages, plant layouts, and commissioning support.
Browse engineeringEquipment
Tanks, agitators, filters, membranes, and other hydromet hardware.
Browse equipmentNot sure which you need?
That is exactly what the brief builder is for. Describe the material and the goal — the category follows from the problem.
Build a briefWorkflow
How a project moves through here
Four steps from a vague material question to a shortlist you can act on. Each is explained in detail on the How It Works page.
- 01
Prepare the brief
Use the Project Brief Builder to describe your feedstock, target product, stage, and constraints in the terms suppliers actually ask about.
- 02
Scoped supplier research
We research which kinds of laboratories, pilot facilities, developers, engineers, or equipment makers fit that brief.
- 03
Shortlist & RFQ support
You get a shortlist with the reasoning behind it, plus support shaping requests for quotation.
- 04
You decide
Conversations, samples, and contracts stay directly between you and the supplier. We stay out of the middle.
Proposed pilot
A scoped supplier research pilot for C$750
For a fixed fee, we take your completed brief, research suppliers whose capabilities genuinely fit it, and return a reasoned shortlist with suggested RFQ questions. It is a defined piece of research — not a subscription, and not a checkout.
- Your brief reviewed for clarity and completeness
- Supplier research scoped to your feedstock and stage
- A shortlist with the reasoning behind each name
- Suggested RFQ questions to send suppliers
C$750
Proposed fee for the scoped supplier research & RFQ pilot.
Trust boundaries
What this is — and what it is not
Clear boundaries, stated up front, so you know exactly what you are getting.
- We do not run testwork, process materials, or hold custody of samples.
- We do not publish or promise recoveries, economics, or performance figures.
- We help you describe the problem precisely so suppliers can respond accurately.
- Every listing and record on this site is clearly labeled fictional demonstration data.
