Bullish Aqua Metals set for lead production boost
US lead-acid battery recycler Aqua Metals has told shareholders the company is on course for an estimated 25% increase in lead metal production after completing the first phase of a capital programme.
The company said the production increase would come from its first full production run of lead bullion from a newly commissioned third kettle— used to process the hard lead from the batteries it breaks.
A new filter press has also been installed and started up and a new centrifuge has been installed, Aqua Metals confirmed on 28 March.
