FE Process

FE Process, headquartered in Noyelles-lès-Seclin near Lille, France, has specialized in evaporation, crystallization, and energy efficiency technologies for over 30 years. Formerly operating as France Évaporation, the company restructured into three focused entities: FE Process for evaporation and concentration systems, FE Minerals for complex projects including lithium battery processing, and FE Service for mobile unit rental and after-sales support. FE Process designs and builds custom thermal separation plants using falling film evaporation, forced circulation evaporation, multiple-effect evaporation, and mechanical vapor compression (CMV/MVR) as core technologies. Their proprietary IFC© crystallizer uses indirect forced circulation to produce larger crystals with tighter size distribution than conventional designs. The company also delivers stripping and distillation systems, reverse osmosis for water recycling, and hybrid installations pairing CMV with high-temperature heat pumps (PAC HT) for maximum energy efficiency. FE Process serves the environment sector (leachate treatment, digestate concentration, ZLD), chemical industry (acids, bases, pharmaceuticals), minerals processing (NaCl, Na₂SO₄, boron, potassium), agri-food (sugar, hydrolysates), fertilizers, metallurgy and hydrometallurgy (lithium, copper, cobalt, battery recycling), and distillery sectors. Their laboratory and pilot testing facilities allow clients to validate process performance before committing to full-scale plant investment.
