Lithium is the key material for high-capacity lithium-ion batteries. These facilities can contain sour brine. Issue free start-ups are paramount for environment and safety.
Where Execution Typically Breaks Down
Challenges tend to be driven by technical and process challenges. They often include:
- Limited execution windows in live environments
- Coordination between control systems and field equipment
- Moving from pilot to commercial scale, where technology that works in a lab may fail to perform efficiently with varying brine concentrations
- Issues removing impurities prior to lithium extraction
- Many individual packaged modules introducing communication issues
An Operations Perspective on Commissioning
S2F supports these projects by applying the commissioning fundamentals that have proven our commissioning value time after time. Starting with the end in mind, the facility is commissioned in a systematic method, verifying all equipment and devices are ready for start up. Also, S2F supports the start-up and the eventual operations phase.
