Our Lithium Extraction Solution
From Waste to Value: Extracting Resources with Patented Solution
Our patented Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology utilizes advanced adsorption and water treatment methods to extract lithium and other critical minerals directly from produced water streams. Fully automated, our process minimizes resource requirements and limits the need for extensive on-site staffing. Our process not only maximizes lithium recovery but also aligns with both sustainability goals and the profitability objectives of oil and gas companies.
- Collection: Produced water, a by-product of oil and gas extraction, is collected from wells or midstream companies and brought to our strategically co-located treatment facilities.
- Filtration & Separation: The water undergoes a thorough filtration and separation process to remove suspended solids, hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and other contaminants, preparing it for efficient lithium extraction.
- Advanced Water Treatment: The water is purified and desalinated using state-of-the-art treatment technologies. This step ensures that any remaining impurities are removed, meeting the highest quality standards for lithium extraction.
- Resource Extraction: We fully utilize this once-waste product to extract lithium and other valuable critical minerals from the treated water. Our commitment to the green energy transition ensures that resource recovery is maximized in an environmentally responsible manner.
- Repurposing: The treated water, now free from contaminants, is ready for beneficial reuse. It can be repurposed for industrial or agricultural needs, used for irrigation, re-injected into oil and gas reservoirs, or applied sustainably, further supporting environmental goals.
Where Green Technology Drives Business Forward
Our innovative approach at Lithium Harvest sets a new standard in the lithium industry, surpassing traditional methods like DLE, hard rock mining, and brine solar evaporation.
Eco-Friendly Operations: Our low-pressure/energy technology leverages solar power, reducing carbon emissions significantly. With no need for transportation to secondary sites and offsetting carbon savings from water handling, we maintain a low environmental impact.
Compact Facility Design: Strategically co-located with water treatment facilities, our compact, modular design minimizes land use and protects natural habitats without ponds or pipelines.
Water Conservation Leader: We champion sustainability by recycling over 90% of the water used, ensuring no freshwater is consumed or polluted and with no additional waste product.
Cost Efficiency: Our on-site low-energy process cuts down CapEx and OpEx. No land or drilling rights purchases, fixed price feedstock, and a high-yield, automated facility translate into lower costs per tonne of lithium.
Speedy Implementation: No need for land acquisition and drilling permits and a modular and scalable plant design, enabling quick project rollouts and swift adaptation to market needs.
