Partnering for Progress - Connect with Our Team.

If you're looking for a sustainable solution for lithium conversion, treating and recovering chemical value from waste streams, or looking to develop a novel electrochemical process technology, there's a good chance that we have the experience, engineering expertise, and technology portfolio to accelerate your project.

Project Engineering Development and Execution Services

First and foremost, NESI is a technology provider. Our core service is the design and integration of electrolysis processes built around our proprietary NORSCAND® platform, tailored to fit seamlessly into each client's overall plant design. We offer a portfolio of patented processes and technologies designed to maximize performance. No matter the stage of your project, NESI's team of engineers, scientists, and designers can deliver a full range of process solutions—from early-stage process studies and PFS/DFS/BEP packages to detailed engineering for pilot and demonstration systems.

NESI also supports project planning by developing detailed capital expenditure (CapEx) and operating expenditure (OpEx) estimates, giving clients the financial insight required for confident and informed decision-making.

Our team brings expertise in industrial electrochemical processes, including:

Electrochemical cell house design, layout, and operations
Design of customized cell stacks for specific electrochemical applications
Scale-up of custom cell technologies to commercial production levels
Electrolyte chemistry optimization and management
Brine impurity control and treatment (e.g., ion exchange, chemical precipitation)
DC electrical power and control systems
Hydrogen and chlorine gas handling

Electrolyser Development

As a technology supplier, NESI is uniquely positioned to design custom-built solutions tailored to the specific requirements of each electrochemical process. With full control over the entire electrolyser supply chain, NESI can optimize performance at every stage—from individual components to integrated system design. NESI is committed to the ongoing design, development, and testing of purpose-built electrolysers, ensuring seamless scalability from concept to industrial deployment.

Typical electrolyser development follows a progressive scale-up pathway:

Modular Plant Supply – Pilot / Demo

We design, quote, and deliver pilot and demonstration-scale equipment that allows you to validate the electrolytic process on-site and de-risk your project before full-scale deployment. We provide expert guidance on integrating our electrolysis technology with your upstream and downstream processes, ensuring an optimized flowsheet. NESI also offers support for scaling up to commercial production, including equipment design, installation, and ongoing assistance.

In–House Brine Validation Center

NESI’s soon-to-be-completed commercial-scale validation center will offer fully-automated full-scale commercial testing and process validation of customers’ unique brines. This new capability allows for customers to confirm process efficiencies and equipment suitability at full industrial scale using actual brine, greatly de-risking projects and confirming process pathways to market without the need of an onsite demonstration facility.

Industrial Production Plant Electrolyser Supply

For industrial-scale projects, NESI offers a comprehensive electrolyser supply package built around our proven NORSCAND® technology. This includes a basic engineering package—suitable for hand-off to an EPC contractor—as well as the complete electrolyser system, including NORSCAND® cell stacks, DC power integration, brine handling, and gas management interfaces. NESI provides ongoing technical support, commissioning assistance, and lifecycle services, including spare parts supply, cell refurbishment, and system upgrades to maintain peak performance over time.

Electrochemical Testing and Development (Process scale up support)

NESI operates a state-of-the-art commercial demonstration electrolysis test center in Richmond BC designed for full-scale testing and validation on our NORSCAND® technology. This fully instrumented facility is staffed with a multidisciplinary team of skilled scientists, engineers and technicians. Using NORSCAND® cells, we can test your specific brine at both pilot and full demonstration scales. This allows for brine specific process data collection and process optimization tailored to your unique resource.

With this testing, we focus on determining optimal brine treatment requirements, accurately modelling process performance and durability, and ultimately engineering and scaling facilities for efficient commercial production. Beyond testing, we provide guidance on upstream and downstream processes to guarantee the smooth integration of our technology into your existing operations.

NESI's Development Approach:

Brine testing at lab or pilot scale
Brine testing at commercial demonstration scale
Long term demonstration plant operation
Commercial plant implementation
