ILF to support synthetic graphite production facility
moreVianode, an Elkem company, has awarded ILF a contract for the provision of engineering services for the Vianode Fast Track Project.
This project is part of the company’s effort to establish a large-scale production facility for synthetic graphite for lithium-ion batteries. The Fast Track Project comprises a production facility that will produce up to 4,200 tons of high-quality synthetic graphite per year. The facility will provide the framework and the expertise for a large-scale production facility with an annual capacity of 50,000 tons that will be built at the same location. The project is a brownfield development offering the possibility to utilize the existing building and utility systems. It is located at the Herøya Industrial Park in the southern part of Norway.
ILF’s main task will be to provide a cost estimate for both the Fast Track Project and the large-scale production facilities, as well as to deliver multi-disciplinary engineering services for the plant’s utilities.
