DLE Plant
The ILiAD Advantage
The truest simulated moving bed
ILiAD brings step-change improvements to functionality, impurity rejection, footprint reduction and consequently, cost.
Works With Every Brine and Temperature
Exceptionally pure lithium chloride product
High quality LiCl product with 99.9% or greater impurity rejection
Viable on heavily mineralized brines
Total dissolved solids from 8% to greater than 40%. Impurity levels of Na, K, Ca, Mg, B and others from 1,000 ppm to 100,000 ppm
Viable for brines with a diverse range of lithium concentrations
Feed lithium concentrations as low as 50 ppm to greater than 2000 ppm
SALAR BRINES
PRODUCED WATER BRINES
GEOTHERMAL BRINES
GROUND WATER SOURCES
ILiAD+: Unmatched Impurity Rejection
ILiAD+ is an enhancement to the ILiAD DLE platform that improves impurity rejection and simplifies downstream processing, without changing the core module footprint.
$100M
in initial CAPEX savings and more than $60MM per year in OPEX savings could result from improved DLE impurity rejection performance
85%
increase in impurity rejection and >6x improvement in lithium-to-sodium equivalent ratio are achieved by ILiAD+
10%
or more reduction in downstream capital and operating costs is expected from the ILiAD+ process
Commercially Ready
By combining lithium-selective adsorbent media with a continuous counter-current adsorption-desorption circuit, ILiAD maximizes lithium recovery and impurity rejection while simplifying operation, reducing water use, lowering cost, and maintaining performance across virtually any lithium-bearing brine.
DELIVERED AS A FULLY
assembled modularized system, providing easy installation and reducing total installed costs
REDUCED SYSTEMS
complexity minimizes maintenance time and cost while increasing system availability
SCALABLE, REPEATABLE
and designed to deliver on a wide range of production capacities and a “plug and play” approach
COMBINING CONVENTIONAL
industry best practices with new technological advances results in a “first to market” DLE technology with proven performance
ONE ILiAD MODULE
Up to 10,000 mTPA LCE
DIMENSIONS
