Pilot plant
At its Wacol pilot plant, VSPC can manufacture lithium ferro phosphate (LFP) and other battery materials according to commercial processes but on a reduced and cost-effective scale. Comprising reaction vessels, mills, furnaces, spray dryers and other process equipment, the plant has the flexibility to configure unit operations according to a variety of process flows. This enables VSPC to rapidly scale the manufacture of battery materials from laboratory synthesis through to the semi-commercial quantities required for product performance testing and qualification by commercial battery manufacturers. In addition, the plant provides valuable data and information for commercial-scale plant design, sizing and process optimisation.

VSPC – path to commercialisation
A definitive feasibility study for a 10,000 tonnes per annum LFP plant is in progress.
