Engineered for Higher Yield & Lower OPEX

Optimized current distribution

Finite element analysis (FEA) designed conductive bars reduce voltage drop by up to 15%, directly lowering energy consumption per ton of copper produced.

Advanced short‑circuit prevention

Special edge strips on cathodes and precise alignment systems minimize dendrite growth, cutting short circuit frequency by 30% compared to conventional designs.

Modular & future‑proof

Cells are designed for easy retrofitting into existing tankhouses. Standardized components allow fast replacement and minimal downtime.

Corrosion‑resistant materials

Heavy duty 316L with optional polymer concrete or lead lining ensures decades of service in aggressive sulfuric acid electrolytes.

Real-world result: Kazakhmys Copper (Kazakhstan)

Two tankhouses retrofitted with 168 TSE electrolytic cells in 2023. After 12 months of operation:

+19% Cathode production
-12% Energy / ton Cu
99.97% Cathode purity

Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

We typically start at 10 cells for greenfield projects, but we also offer small-scale retrofitting for 2–5 cells.

Do you provide installation supervision?

Yes, our engineers can supervise installation and commissioning anywhere. We also offer training for your team.

What is the lead time?

Standard lead time is 12–16 weeks after engineering approval, depending on quantity and customization.

Can I get a sample cell for testing?

Absolutely. We can manufacture a single pilot cell for your R&D before full deployment.
