Breakthrough in mineral extraction
Enabling the energy transition by using less energy and reducing emissions in rock comminution
I-ROX is developing a transformative solution for comminution in mining that can cut energy consumption significantly and reduce the carbon footprint of mines worldwide
By using pulsed power to break rocks from the inside instead of crushing them from the outside, I-ROX eliminates entire parts of the traditional milling process, cutting costs for both electricity and replacement parts. The solution can also increase the amount of metal recovered from the ore, improving the profitability of a mine.
The crushing and grinding process is the single most energy-intensive and expensive aspect of the entire mining process – estimated to use approximately 4% of all electrical energy globally. I-ROX aims to reduce that carbon footprint by as much as 80%.
He also co-founded and served as director at Marseilles-based Kietta, a company developing a seaborne drone technology offering a revolutionary approach to offshore seismic exploration while protecting sea life.
Mr. Frescaline was granted the title of Chevalier de l’Ordre National du Mérite (Knight of the National Order of Merit) in 2010, at the age of 43 for exceptional contributions to French national security and defense.
At I-Pulse, he has overseen the development and launch of multiple technologies as well as their commercialization through independent subsidiaries with dedicated, expert management teams.
