The Canadian battery material manufacturer Nano One Materials has installed and commissioned an Agitor in the commercial, 20,000-liter stew reactor in the production facility in its production facility in Candiac, Québec.
The new equipment installation was developed to improve the mixed dynamics, the heat transfer and the response time, and it is estimated that the throughput capacity in the system is increased by about 50%. The increased capacity will lead to reduced production costs, according to the company, in addition to supporting the production scale and the continued product marketing and the optimization of the investment design for the future license business of the company. It will also improve the consistency and quality of the cam edition.
The proprietary agitator equipment was occupied by a German manufacturer who specializes in mixed technologies. The upgrade was followed by comprehensive pilot, data acquisition and modeling, which were carried out on smaller 2,000-liter stew pilot reactors commissioned in October 2023.
The project is supported by financing and costs from the NRC Irap Clean Technology Program (formerly SDTC), Investissement Québec, Technoclimat and the US Department of Defense (DOD).
“The commissioning of the new equipment marks a milestone for the further optimization of the Candiac operations, which was set up as a stew-LFP demonstration production system,” said Denis Geoffroy, Chief Commercialization Officer from Nano One. “The upgrade was achieved by the combined efforts of our engineering and production teams. This performance underlines the scalability of the stew process.”
Nano One also announced five new patents in North America and Asia, which granted its total to 52, was pending and 54 in the jurisdiction around the world.
The latest patents include three patents related to lithium -iron phosphate (lithium IRON phosphate), in the USA, Canada and Taiwan, a patent related to Nickel -Mangan -cobalt (NMC) cathode materials in South Korea and a US patent for the assembly of lithium -nickel -Mangan (LNMO).
