Plant scale-up & processing
Turn a promising process into a practical manufacturing plan.
Talk through your projectConnect the laboratory, pilot plant, and commercial facility with a process designed around your feedstock and product specifications. We bring process engineering, techno-economic analysis, and a clear sequence of technical decisions to battery materials and critical minerals projects.
Start with the product specification
Define the material properties the customer needs, then work backward through unit operations, equipment selection, and process controls. Feedstock variability, impurities, yield, and utility demand belong in the flowsheet from the beginning.
Use the pilot plant to resolve uncertainty
Structure pilot trials around the assumptions that matter at commercial scale. Digital process models, experimental design, and sensitivity analysis help identify what must be measured before the next investment decision.
Make each stage gate useful
Connect technical milestones to manufacturing readiness, operating costs, and the evidence needed by investors or funding partners. The result is a scale-up plan with defined deliverables and decision points.
Questions we often hear
When should we involve a process consultant?
Feasibility and pilot design are useful starting points. We also support operating pilot plants where inconsistent yield, product quality, or qualification results are delaying the next stage.
Which materials do you work with?
Our practice covers graphite and other anode materials, lithium compounds, cathode precursors, rare earth processing, and related battery materials processes. We define the relevant scope with your team before an engagement.
Can the work support a funding proposal?
Yes. Process design, techno-economic analysis, and scale-up milestones can form the technical basis of a proposal. Grant writing support is available as a separate or connected engagement.
