Worley has been awarded an engineering and design services contract by Orbia Fluor & Energy Materials to support development of a lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) production facility at Orbia’s site in St. Gabriel, Louisiana. LiPF6 is a critical electrolyte salt used in lithium-ion batteries.

What impact could new U.S.-based LiPF6 production have on the battery supply chain and EV manufacturing?

LiPF6 in Gulf Coast humidity is a recipe for HF unless the dry-room and containment are bulletproof. I’d treat it like an HF alkylation unit: Monel where it counts, PTFE/PEEK internals, N+2 desiccant dehumidification to < -60 C dew point with inert purge for power loss, and HF/POF3 scrubbing that won’t cake into fluoride salts. Are they co-locating HF/PF5 generation or trucking it in? Big implications for reliability and permits.
