Battery anode material · Engineering · Project delivery

Anode projects.
Engineered for execution.

Independent graphite expertise that connects feasibility, engineering, procurement and plant ramp-up.

Explore our services

Technical certainty
before capital intensity.

KaiYang supports graphite developers, battery-material manufacturers, investors and project owners with the decisions that determine plant performance.

We connect material behaviour, engineering definition, equipment procurement and operating reality—without losing the owner’s commercial priorities.

Two distinct engagement models

Choose a delivery model
that matches the decision.

EPS and owner-side consulting solve different problems. They can be commissioned independently or combined under one project governance structure.

EPS

Engineering &
Procurement Services

Best suited to

Projects that need a clearly bounded engineering and sourcing scope delivered to agreed milestones.

Core responsibilities

  • Engineering definition and multidisciplinary design
  • Procurement strategy and RFQ documentation
  • Technical bid evaluation and supplier alignment
  • Vendor coordination, inspection and delivery readiness
Commercial basisMilestone-based or fixed-fee when the deliverables and boundaries are clearly defined.
CONSULTING

Owner-Side
Technical Services

Best suited to

Owners who need a technically strong team to govern decisions from feasibility through commissioning and ramp-up.

Core responsibilities

  • Feasibility, site and investment decision support
  • Owner’s PMO, project controls and risk governance
  • Independent engineering and procurement review
  • Interface, change, commissioning and ramp-up oversight
Commercial basisApproved staffing plan; time and materials with milestone-based not-to-exceed caps.

What we help clients solve

From an investable idea
to a stable operating plant.

Feasibility

Is the opportunity technically and commercially credible?

Feedstock appraisal, product route, site constraints, utility demand, risk review and an executable basis for investment decisions.

Definition

What must be fixed before capital is committed?

Design criteria, mass balance, layout, equipment duties, utilities, battery limits and a disciplined scope baseline.

Procurement

How should the plant be sourced without losing technical control?

Procurement strategy, RFQs, supplier prequalification, bid alignment, technical evaluation and contract-ready technical schedules.

Integration

Who owns every interface?

Clear responsibility boundaries across production lines, civil works, utilities, automation, logistics and local compliance.

Execution

Are cost, schedule and quality moving together?

Project controls, design review, expediting, inspection, FAT, change control and site-readiness management.

Operations

What will it take to reach stable production?

Installation support, commissioning, performance testing, qualification, training and ramp-up optimisation.

Production-line understanding

Two graphite routes.
One execution mindset.

The original eight-stage logic is retained for both synthetic and natural graphite. Open a stage to review its production duty.

Synthetic graphite

Thermal production route

Green petroleum cokeFeedstockGreen petroleum cokeView process note

Green petroleum coke is qualified for chemistry, volatile matter, moisture and particle-size consistency before it enters the line.

Jaw crusherCrushingJaw crusherView process note

Primary compression crushing reduces coke lumps to a stable feed size for downstream grinding and particle shaping.

Three-roll particle shaping millShapingThree-roll particle shaping millView process note

Grinding and shaping establish the required particle-size distribution, morphology and tap-density potential.

Coating and granulation reactorGranulationCoating and granulation reactorView process note

Shaped coke and binder are processed under controlled temperature and agitation to form a consistent secondary-particle structure.

Continuous tunnel kilnCarbonisationContinuous tunnel kilnView process note

Continuous thermal treatment removes volatiles and stabilises the carbon structure before graphitisation.

Acheson graphitisation furnaceGraphitisationAcheson graphitisation furnaceView process note

High-temperature treatment develops the graphite crystallinity and electrochemical performance required by the product specification.

Gas-tight roller hearth kilnCoatingGas-tight roller hearth kilnView process note

Controlled-atmosphere thermal treatment fixes the surface coating with repeatable temperature and atmosphere profiles.

Batch mixingSievingPackingFinishingBatch mixing, sieving and packingView process note

Released lots are homogenised, screened to final specification and packed for protected storage and shipment.

Natural graphite

Purification and shaping route

Natural flake graphite · −194 / −195FeedstockNatural flake graphite · −194 / −195View process note

Natural flake graphite is qualified for carbon content, particle size and its response to downstream processing.

Air classifier millMicronisationAir classifier millView process note

Integrated impact grinding and classification establish the controlled particle-size window required for spheroidisation.

Multi-stage particle spheroidisation systemSpheroidisationMulti-stage particle spheroidisation systemView process note

Multi-pass shaping rounds the flakes, raises tap density and balances yield against surface-area targets.

Chemical purification systemPurificationChemical purification systemView process note

Impurities are removed through a route selected for feedstock chemistry, product purity and local operating constraints.

High-shear coating mixerCoatingHigh-shear coating mixerView process note

Pitch preparation and controlled mixing create consistent surface coverage around the purified spherical graphite.

Continuous carbonisation kilnCarbonisationContinuous carbonisation kilnView process note

Thermal treatment fixes the coating layer and develops the required surface and structural properties.

Jet pulveriser and de-agglomeration millDe-agglomerationJet pulveriser and de-agglomeration millView process note

Controlled dispersion breaks soft agglomerates after thermal treatment without over-grinding the coated particles.

Batch mixingSievingPackingFinishingBatch mixing, sieving and packingView process note

Released lots are homogenised, screened to final specification and packed for protected storage and shipment.
