We are a specialist engineering consultancy serving clients at the forefront of the new energy economy. Our expertise and experience lie in supporting companies developing chemical processing plants for the production and recycling of ultra-high purity battery materials—such as lithium hydroxide, nickel sulphate, cobalt sulphate, and manganese sulphate.
We bring engineering excellence to projects that support a more sustainable world, delivering value to both people and the planet.
With a strong foundation in chemical process engineering, our team has worked across an array of process technologies, ranging from thermal systems like evaporation and crystallisation to membrane separation, ion exchange, carbon capture and other complex heat and mass transfer operations.
We use process modelling as a tool to assist clients in the development of high- level technical definition of early-stage projects. As projects progress, we further refine, develop, and optimise the process in line with the client’s aims.
At each stage of project development, we provide high-level cost estimation. This ensures commercially guided decision making throughout the project lifecycle.
We combine our technical and commercial know-how to support early assessments of project viability.
We act on behalf of the project owner to ensure that the project is designed and built in accordance with the owner’s interests and aims.
We provide process and project engineering support during project execution , helping to translate flowsheet designs into practical, constructible, and operable systems.
We offer technical advisory services during commissioning, start-up, and operations—helping clients troubleshoot, optimise, and stabilise new or existing systems.
Katherine holds a BSc in chemical engineering from the University of the Witwatersrand and an MBA from Henley Business School. She has 18 years of experience in metallurgical and chemical process project development across Africa, Australasia, North and South America and Europe. She has specialised experience in the application of crystallisation technology to the production of ultra-high purity battery materials.
