Process Development
PEC is a leading player in process design. We pride ourselves on applying creative solutions to a range of challenges found in mineral and brine processing. With over 25+ years experience, we provide solutions to Solar Evaporation, Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE), and to the production of lithium salts and battery-grade lithium chemicals. Similarly, we offer strong expertise in the processing of potassium-based products.
Start-Up
Save costs and accelerate your travel up the the learning curve.
Is your vision to start a pilot- or large-scale plant? PEC works to minimize your operational costs and accelerate your time-to-market.
Due Diligence
Know where to invest.
Lack of knowledge of the lithium industry, especially on the technical and environmental challenges, has led to company failures and painful investment by funds.
Just as few climbers would attempt to hike the tallest Andean peaks without an experienced guide, PEC helps clients avoid costly mistakes.
Consultancy
Dedicated advice.
Do you need deeper knowledge and clearer decision-making in the area of lithium processing and its environmental aspects? PEC will strengthen your team.
Environmental Assessment
Different environmental assessments provide insights into the environmental impacts across the product life cycle, including extraction, refining, transportation, and product end-use.
PEC generates environmental reports that combine its scientific know-how in chemical processing, with its hands-on experience in project/environmental management, using advanced software and databases.
Financial Analysis
New investments in lithium projects require credible financial analysis to determine economic feasibility and return-on-investment (ROI). PEC generates credible financial modelling using our deep technical expertise in lithium processing coupled with a strong understanding of project economics and market dynamics. Using up-to-date market data, we provide financial analysis that is accurate, insightful, and aligned to the strategic goals of clients.

Potassium Sulfate (SOP)
PEC leverages its strong expertise in phase chemistry and salt processing for the production of potash salt. Both potassium sulfate (SOP) and potassium chloride (MOP) lie at the center of PEC's core strengths, with successful projects demonstrated in China, Australia, and India. One of PEC's favorite tasks is designing SOP and MOP processes. Due to the high complexity of processing, we are pleased to offer our clients greater clarity and troubleshooting of real-world operations.
