NORAM's NORSCAND Electrolyzer Revolutionizing Battery-Grade Lithium Production
Key Ideas
  • NORAM Electrolysis Systems Inc. (NESI), a spinoff of NORAM Engineering and Constructors Ltd., is pioneering the extraction of battery-grade lithium using its innovative NORSCAND electrolyzer.
  • The technology not only produces lithium hydroxide from brine but also valorizes waste from recycled batteries, contributing to a sustainable approach in the lithium battery space.
  • Backed by $4.5 million from Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), NESI is advancing towards industrial-scale production and aims to establish a manufacturing facility to cater to the growing demand for lithium hydroxide.
  • The company's expansion includes setting up a Lithium Electrolysis Test Centre in Richmond, B.C., to test and validate engineering processes for large-scale production, marking a significant step towards commercialization.
NORAM Electrolysis Systems Inc. (NESI), a Vancouver-based spinoff of NORAM Engineering and Constructors Ltd., is at the forefront of revolutionizing battery-grade lithium production with its NORSCAND electrolyzer technology. Formed in July 2022, NESI focuses on extracting lithium hydroxide from brine at a commercial scale, targeting the rapidly growing lithium battery market. Led by president and CEO Jeremy Moulson, NESI's innovative approach involves converting lithium sulphate or lithium chloride into battery-grade lithium hydroxide, offering a sustainable solution within the industry. With a recent funding injection of $4.5 million from Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), NESI is poised to advance its technology at a test facility in Richmond, B.C., paving the way for industrial production. The electrolyzer, developed in collaboration with Swedish company Permascand AB, is a key component in the lithium extraction process, demonstrating efficiency and environmental benefits. NESI's plans include establishing a Lithium Electrolysis Test Centre to validate industrial-scale production processes and setting up a manufacturing facility for widespread deployment. With its focus on sustainability and technological advancement, NESI is set to play a pivotal role in meeting the increasing demand for lithium hydroxide in the global market.
