PROJECTS CO-FINANCED BY THE EUROPEAN UNION
Currently, Perfekt S.A. is implementing the project entitled “Implementation of an innovative technology for the fabrication of thin-film electrodes with a micro-channel system formed by laser-beam photoinduction for flow-battery-based energy storage systems”, co-financed by the European Union under the European Funds for a Modern Economy Programme.
Currently, Perfekt S.A. is implementing the project entitled “Implementation of an innovative technology for the fabrication of thin-film electrodes with a micro-channel system formed by laser-beam photoinduction for flow-battery-based energy storage systems”, co-financed by the European Union under the European Funds for a Modern Economy Programme.
The project includes the following activities within the R&D Module:
Improvement of photo-induced methods for manufacturing electrodes on polymer substrates, with the capability of digital control over electrode morphology.
Selection and optimisation of a reaction medium based on an aqueous electrolyte, together with the selection of a separator/membrane separating the cathodic and anodic compartments.
Optimisation of operating parameters of individual electrochemical cells, including correlation of electrolyte flow rate, pressure, micro-channel dimensions, and operating temperature range with the type and concentration of the selected electrolyte, in terms of the resulting current–voltage characteristics of the cells.
Integration and development of control-system operating parameters for a functional flow-battery demonstrator with a capacity of 10 kWh, constituting the smallest building block of high-power energy storage systems.
Design and construction of a high-power energy storage prototype (1 MWh) based on operational data from the demonstrator, followed by testing under real-world conditions at one of the available photovoltaic farms.
The objective of the project is to improve the current performance of flow batteries through the development of advanced thin-film electrodes.
The outcome of the project will be the creation of innovative products that may function as standalone commercial offerings while also complementing each other. The first product will be a high-power energy storage system ready for implementation, offering extensive scalability in terms of capacity. The second will be a technology for on-demand fabrication of electrodes based on carbon layers, providing the highest degree of customisation and modification.
The target groups for the innovative products developed under the project are investors operating in the renewable energy sector.

PROJECT: Protection of Industrial Property
The first project was implemented under the Operational Programme Smart Growth, sub-measure Protection of Industrial Property. The aim of the project was to obtain industrial property protection for an innovative honing head, which has the potential to be a breakthrough solution on the honing-head market.
Obtaining a patent grants the creators exclusive rights to commercially or professionally exploit the patented invention, preventing its unrestricted use by competitors. This strengthens the company’s market position and competitive advantage. Patent protection increases company revenues, enables recovery of investment costs, and builds a positive corporate image. Importantly, a patent is recognised as an asset and constitutes a powerful legal instrument for taking action against entities infringing the protected invention.
Project title: “Obtaining industrial property protection for an innovative honing head”
Project duration: 1 July 2016 – 31 December 2022
Total project value: PLN 109,335.00
EU funding contribution: PLN 53,000.00
Project: Innovative Honing Technology
The second project was implemented under the Operational Programme Smart Growth, sectoral programme INNOMOTO. Its objective was to commence the production and sale of honing machines.
As part of the project, an innovative honing head was developed to enable precise machining of cylinder liner surfaces, particularly for heavy-duty vehicles. The design allows the use of separate drive systems for each abrasive stone, enabling individual control of the pressure applied by each honing tool. The resulting innovative technological solution is intended for implementation in the automotive industry, as well as in shipbuilding and heavy-duty machinery.
The project outcomes positively impact companies manufacturing engine liners by enabling:
higher-quality honed surfaces (directly contributing to longer engine life and reduced fuel consumption),
innovative honing cross-hatch structures (variable angle and roughness),
parametric honing of non-circular shapes,
lower machining costs (reduced wear of friction elements and fewer non-compliant products),
compliance of produced cylinder liners with EURO 6 and EURO 6+ standards,
potential application of the technology for determining emission limits under the EURO 7 standard.
The key benefit of implementing the planned technology is the utilisation of large quantities of waste that are currently unused, costly to store, and harmful to the environment. Entities investing in the technology can reduce operating costs, generate additional revenue from the sale of recovered chromium, and improve their image as environmentally responsible enterprises.

PROJECT: INNOVATIVE CHROMIUM RECYCLING TECHNOLOGY
The final EU-funded project was implemented under the Operational Programme Smart Growth, sectoral programme Innovative Recycling. The objective of the project was to offer interested entities a complete and comprehensive solution enabling the profitable and efficient processing of accumulated chromium-containing waste.
The primary feedstock used in the process is so-called chromium sludge, the management of which constitutes a major challenge for chromium producers. Currently, approximately 2 million tonnes of this waste are stored in Poland.
Project implementation enabled the introduction to the market of a complete installation for recycling chromium from post-production materials. The applied solutions lead to:
higher purity of the recovered deposit (purified chromium),
increased current efficiency of the complete installation,
improved installation throughput,
increased recovery efficiency, understood as the chromium content remaining in the material after the recycling process.
The key benefit of implementing the planned technology is the utilisation of large quantities of waste that are currently unused, costly to store, and harmful to the environment.
