Rock Tech Lithium partners with GEA Group AG, a global leader in process technology, to supply crystallization and zero-liquid discharge systems for its Lithium Converter in Guben, Germany.

Rock Tech Lithium has entered a technology partnership with GEA Group AG, one of the world's largest system suppliers for advanced process technology, to deliver key equipment for its Lithium Converter in Guben, Germany. As part of the agreement, GEA will supply crystallization and zero-liquid discharge technology, ensuring the highest standards in battery-grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LHM) production.

Following two and a half years of an intensive selection process followed by technical specifications and negotiations, Rock Tech has successfully completed test works with GEA to procure crystallizers essential to produce 24,000 tons of battery-grade LHM annually. This equipment contract is a significant step to establish an automated and continuously operating Lithium Converter in Europe.

"Finalizing the commercial and technical contract conditions is a key milestone, ensuring clarity, minimizing risks, and enabling efficient execution. We are pleased to have reached this milestone with such a reputable partner as GEA, establishing a strong foundation for successful collaboration," says Frank Spellier, Rock Tech's Head of Engineering.

As Rock Tech progresses toward the finalization of the contract, preparations are in place to integrate GEA's high-automation solutions, allowing continuous lithium production at the Guben site.
