Works With Nearly Every Brine
Replacing conventional evaporation ponds with ILiAD reduces physical footprints by 1000x, lessens environmental impacts and eliminates lithium salt losses (40-50%) generated during the evaporative process.

Water Brines
After de-oiling, ILiAD can process lithium laden produced waters before re-injection, effectively turning a waste stream into a salable by-product. 90% recovery can be achieved with as low as 50 ppm lithium feed concentration.
With effective pre-treatment, processing geothermal brines with ILiAD boasts high loading capacities and recoveries while taking advantage of excess brine temperatures. Feed impurities as high as 100,000 ppm can be effectively reduced to hundreds of ppm in the final product.
