I am Kesarin Chaleepa. I am working within the crystallization group of GEA
as a sales manager and my main responsibility is the sales support for the markets in
the South East Asia, including Korea
Japan and Australia. I am attending
ACHEMA as the process specialist for the
crystallization of lithium hydroxide
monohydrate. So lithium hydroxide
monohydrate has been used let us say
vastly as the lithium ion battery
precursors. Especially for the electric
vehicle application. And for this
application, the demand in the very high
purity of lithium hydroxide monohydrate
is increasing a lot because the battery
itself requires longer life cycles.
With the GEA crystallization technology,
we can produce lithium hydroxide
monohydrate with the superior great
quality of more than 99.5% and actually
in the market you will find it until
99.3% so you're far beyond the today's
quality grade. Be a reliable partner
we are always takes responsibility of
what we do and we have a very smart
engineering solution. So every project or
every product, we have to do a kind of
tailor made process. So that means
the customer will get what he wants and
also he will get the best solution also
in terms of investment and operational
cost as well as the product
requirement. We have also the tests center
in our location where we can test these
samples and produce crystals and
simulate the process in the small-scale
test. So that's one advantage. The
customer does not need to install a kind
of pilot plant to scale up into the
commercial plan. So the customer can save this investment for the pilot plant. As a
crystallization unit, we are not the only
one within the GEA. So and mostly for the
industrial plans, we have to serve the
customer more than what we can do. So
within GEA, we have many technologies
which can be integrated together and
handled together. We can actually provide
a customer for the whole production
plans for the lithium hydroxide process.
