ABOUT US
Production of lead metal with attention to detail
EL BAT gives new life to old batteries. We are one of the biggest plants in Europe for processing and recycling various types of lead-containing waste and discarded lead-acid batteries. With the solutions we have created we help to free the environment from the consequences of a number of anthropogenic factors.

TECHNOLOGIES
THE BATTERY RECYCLING SYSTEM DEVELOPED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ENGITEC AND BJ INDUSTRIES
Used lead-acid batteries are dismantled and separated into lead, acid, and plastics. Acid is neutralized or reused, and plastics are recycled. This process ensures clean input for smelting and reduces environmental waste.
Breaker, separation and filtration unit
Desulphurization reduces SO₂ emissions and slag. Paste is mixed with waste acid and reagents, then dewatered. The filter cake goes for smelting; the filtrate is treated to remove metals. Purified sulphate is used for salt production.
Lead Paste Desulphurization
Sodium sulfate solution undergoes crystallization. The final brine is centrifuged; crystals are sent to a storage silo, and the mother liquor is recycled back into the process.
Sulphate Salt Production
Lead parts are melted in short rotary furnaces. Impurities are removed via fluxing, producing soft lead. Advanced filters reduce emissions and meet environmental standards.
Lead Smelting
Remelted lead is purified in refining kettles. Impurities like copper and arsenic are removed, and alloying elements may be added to create custom grades. The result is 99.97–99.99% pure lead for reuse in batteries, shielding, and more.
Lead Refinery
Molten lead is poured into molds to form ingots. Controlled cooling ensures shape and purity. The result: high-quality soft lead ready for reuse in batteries and other industrial applications.
Lead Casting
Battery casings are shredded, washed, and purified. Clean polypropylene chips are melted and pelletized into high-grade granules—ready to be reused in new battery housings, auto parts, and packaging.
Polypropylene Production
All wastewater from recycling is treated on-site. Through chemical purification, filtration, and reuse, we ensure no contaminated water leaves our facility—supporting a circular water economy.

SCOPE
EL BAT IS BULGARIA-BASED COMPANY WITH A WIDE RANGE
We operate mainly in Central Europe, but we also have many partners in Asia and Africa.
PROTECTION FROM ADVERSE PRICE MOVEMENTS
The LME offers those at all stages of the metals supply chain the opportunity to hedge their price risk and gain protection from adverse price movements. At EL BAT we are hedging metals, a process of offsetting the risk of price movements in the physical market by locking in a price for the same commodity in the futures market.
