U.S. Vanadium’s New $5.8 Million Upgrade Improves Vanadium Recovery, Increases Recycling, And Supports Continued Production Rates For Ultra-High-Purity Electrolyte For Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries
US Vanadium (“USV” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has completed a $5.8 million upgrade of its vanadium processing operations in Hot Springs, including the installation of an industrial Belt Filter plant that will further improve the facility’s vanadium recovery rates, cut operating costs, increase recycling operations, and reduce the plant’s overall environmental footprint.
The USV facility produces ultra-high-purity electrolyte and other high-purity vanadium-based products by recovering contained vanadium from a variety of post-industrial waste streams. USV’s recycling of waste streams also allows it to produce vanadium products with a much smaller carbon footprint than primary vanadium mining operations.

About VRFB Technologies
VRFBs are rechargeable batteries that take advantage of the fact that vanadium ions in different oxidation states can efficiently store chemical potential energy. VRFBs allow for an almost unlimited energy capacity, can be completely charged and discharged without damage, have very long cycle lives (at least 15,000-20,000 charge/discharge cycles), and can remain unused for long periods without permanent effects to the system.
Because of their nearly unlimited energy storage capacity, high efficiency, zero emissions, very long cycle lives, and relatively low cost of available electricity on a lifecycle basis, VRFB energy storage systems are enabling consumers to utilize renewable energy systems for 100% of their actual power needs without having to rely on renewable energy credits and other accounting offsets.The USV facility produces ultra-high-purity electrolyte and other high-purity vanadium-based products by recovering contained vanadium from a variety of post-industrial waste streams.
