CTST Fast Pilot - Lithium Recovery from Geothermal Brines in the Salton Sea
FY 2019-20 · 2019-11-01
Summary
This project seeks to deploy a revolutionary high temperature, high efficiency ultrafiltration water treatment technology proven in the Alberta oilsands combined with a proprietary selective lithium recovery technology to treat complex geothermal brines and extract the lithium at the high temperatures required in the geothermal industry. A pilot unit will be built and deployed to a commercial facility in the Salton Sea and, if successful, will serve as a template for increased capacity by replicating the basic column design.

Description (French)
Ce projet vise à déployer une technologie révolutionnaire de traitement de l'eau par ultrafiltration à haute température et à haute efficacité éprouvée dans les sables bitumineux de l'Alberta, combinée à une technologie exclusive de récupération sélective du lithium pour traiter les saumures géothermiques complexes et extraire le lithium aux températures élevées requises par l'industrie géothermique. Une unité pilote sera construite et déployée dans une installation commerciale de la mer de Salton et, en cas de réussite, elle servira de modèle pour accroître la capacité en reproduisant la conception de la colonne de base.
