August 27, 2026, Toronto, Canada and Santiago, Chile: Pulsenics, a Canadian developer of electrochemical diagnostic technologies, today announced a partnership with Kendel to launch a performance diagnostics program built for Chile's industrial electrochemical market. Kendel, based in Santiago, will represent Pulsenics in Chile and provide local technical leadership for the program.
Through the program, operators will gain visibility into the health of their electrochemical assets across the full operational life of those systems, helping them reduce unplanned downtime and scale with greater confidence. The program supports green hydrogen, battery energy storage systems (BESS), water and wastewater management, brine recovery and mineral processing.
Chile leads South America in the adoption of electrochemical systems. Its lithium sector relies on industrial electrochemistry to extract valuable minerals from brine, and the country now generates nearly 62% of its electricity from renewable sources, drawing on vast solar potential in the north and wind potential in the south. BESS projects are on the rise, and more than 70 green hydrogen projects have been announced. Pulsenics' Pulse Probes, built on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), deliver rapid, non-destructive insight into asset health, so operators can identify performance loss early enough to act on it.
"Chile is building serious capability across hydrogen, energy storage, water and critical minerals, and all of it depends on electrochemical assets staying online," said Essam Elsahwi, CEO and co-founder of Pulsenics. "Kendel understands these processes from the inside, and that is what makes this program work. Together we can help operators catch performance issues early, protect uptime and make better operational decisions."
Kendel brings hands-on experience in electrochemical process development, simulation and reactor design, and the company operates electrochemical systems of its own. That perspective shapes the program: the team supporting Chilean operators has worked through the same performance questions in its own engineering.
"Operators need to know what is happening inside their systems throughout the operational life of the asset, not only at commissioning," said Alvaro González Vogel, CTO and co-founder of Kendel. "The Pulse Probe gives us that visibility. Through this program, we will help Chilean organizations improve the uptime, reliability and long-term performance of assets they cannot afford to lose."
Organizations with deployed electrochemical assets, including green hydrogen producers, mines, water treatment operators and brine processing facilities, can contact Kendel today at contacto@kendel.cl to discuss the performance diagnostics program.
Kendel will exhibit Pulsenics technology, among other solutions, at Hyvolution Chile 2026 from September 1 through 3 at Metropolitan Santiago, booth PY2.
