Capability profile
NESI's NORSCAND platform uses membrane electrolysis for salt splitting, lithium hydroxide production and acid or caustic recovery. Laboratory, pilot, demonstration and commercial-scale equipment support staged process development.
These describe the reviewed application scope, not confirmed deployments, released requirements or procurement eligibility.
NESI markets the existing NORSCAND family for commercial applications. NRC separately funds development of a next-generation two-compartment lithium electrolyser; that project should not be treated as completed because related products are sold.
Customers can test their process streams through NESI's facilities or commission equipment and integration services before commercial deployment.
A technology readiness level is not established by the reviewed public sources.
No reviewed Mission area or released Defence need connection is currently published.
These records support this capability and its published Mission area and Defence need connections. A source count is not a count of independent confirmations.
