04 Technology
Microbial Enhanced Recovery
Precision-engineered bio-leaching. Industry-ready.
MER is the cutting edge of industrial biotechnology. We harness the metabolic power of microbial communities — precisely engineered to target and extract strategic metals from low-grade, dispersed and previously unusable materials.
It is a paradigm shift: non-toxic, energy-efficient and fully modular — enabling profitable metal recovery directly at the source of waste.
- Non-toxic process chemistry
- Fully modular, containerised units
- Works on dispersed and low-grade feedstocks

05 Process
How it works
From feedstock to certified, battery-ready metals — in three stages.
01
Targeted extraction
Custom microbial consortia generate bio-compounds that bind and mobilise metals — lithium, cobalt, rare earths — even in complex waste.
02
Modular deployment
Containerised, prefabricated MER units integrate seamlessly into existing industrial sites — scalable and adaptive to material streams.
03
Closed-loop recovery
Recovered metals are reintroduced into supply chains — reducing mining dependence and advancing circular resource use.
06 Intelligence
The Bio Data Analytics Platform
Turning biological noise into predictive certainty — the intelligence engine behind every MER deployment.
Real-time optimisation
Continuous monitoring of microbiome conditions dynamically maximises extraction efficiency.
Predictive modelling
Forecasts changes in feedstock and microbial performance for proactive operations.
Audit & reporting
Delivers certified data for compliance, sustainability claims and carbon reporting.
07 Validated in industry
Integrating the MER platform has fundamentally changed how we view our industrial waste. The recovery efficiency is unmatched, and the reduction in chemical usage has lowered our compliance burden significantly. BioMetallix is delivering the circular economy, today.
