In this contribution, the design considerations to assemble a pilot-plant for tungsten recovery and further conversion into synthetic scheelite
as raw material, as an eco-friendly improvement for the current electroless nickel process in Field Service Solution (FES) S. A. S., are
presented. This low-cost methodology scale-up aims to provide an alternative treatment for spent electroless nickel solutions (Ni-P-W) as
a secondary tungsten source. The plant is projected to treat up to 750 L of industrial waste per week, achieving a maximum scheelite
production of 9.1 kg per week. This prototype serves as a model of eco-sustainability in the nickel-plating industry by controlling the
disposal of heavy metals and by facilitating the production of other tungsten derivatives and their feasible reuse in the process.

En este trabajo se muestran las consideraciones para el diseño de una planta piloto orientada a la recuperación de tungsteno y su posterior
conversión en scheelita sintética como materia prima; esto, como una mejora ecoamigable para el actual proceso de niquelado químico en
Field Service Solution (FES) S. A. S. La metodología de bajo costo mostrada provee una alternativa para el tratamiento de soluciones
de niquelado químico agotadas (Ni-P-W) como fuente secundaria de tungsteno. La planta proyecta el tratamiento de hasta 750 L de desecho
por semana, con lo que alcanza una producción máxima de 9,1 kg de scheelita por semana. Este prototipo constituye un modelo de ecosostenibilidad en la industria del niquelado mediante el control de la disposición de metales pesados y la producción de otros derivados
del tungsteno, así como su posible reutilización en el proceso.
