The most advanced technologies are planned to be used in the Refinis factory. The main device, the smelting furnace, will be powered by electricity to avoid burning fossil fuels and to minimise the emission of greenhouse gases.

The technological process of production will consist of three stages: the smelting of crushed car catalysts in a plasma furnace, the concentration of the extracted alloy and chemical purification of precious metals and the extraction of platinum, palladium and rhodium. Processing up to 5,580 t of crushed car catalysts and the extraction of up to 17.5 t of precious metals per year is planned.
