MIC-L1 Shallow Frontier Station Refinery

This moderately priced electrochemical process uses a pure sample of the desired final material as an anode to attract and bond the chemically dissolved raw material resulting in an average yield percentage and processing time.

This recently developed process returns a high yield of refined product at a slightly below-average rate for a nominal cost. By using a resonant distillation process inside a flux-retort, the desired materials can be separated from the raw slag while minimizing waste.

This process exposes raw material to quick bursts of Gaskin solvents to break down and remove impurities through inductive filtration. This fast but expensive process results in an average final yield.

Despite its moderate processing rate and relatively low yield, Kazen Winnowing, first developed in the 22nd century, is still frequently used thanks to its relatively simple set-up and lower price point. Once the raw material reaches its liquidis temperature, high pressure gas is introduced and used to winnow any remaining impurities.

This higher-than-average priced refinement process uses a series of very precisely controlled heating chambers to slowly extract the wanted material over the course of the thermal cycle and remove insoluble impurities through chromalysis to result in an above average yield.

Through slow application of repeated heating and cooling cycles, the raw materials can be separated according to their specific thermonatic properties and produce a moderate refined yield.

This process employs an array of highly corrosive reaction agents to rapidly dissolve unwanted materials. Developed by the Navy to expedite wartime material production, this costly refinement method makes up for its lower than average yield with its high rate of turnover.
