Our Low-Impact Technology
Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE): A Game-Changer
Traditional lithium extraction involves large evaporation ponds that consume significant amounts of water and disrupt local ecosystems. Our DLE technology is designed to overcome these challenges by:
Reducing Water Usage
DLE uses minimal water, preserving the fragile ecosystem of the Atacama Desert.
Efficient Resource Recovery
Extracting up to 90% of lithium from brine, significantly higher than evaporation methods.
Smaller Footprint
Eliminating the need for vast evaporation ponds, reducing land use and visual impact.
Aspect | Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) | Traditional Methods |
Water Consumption | Minimal | High |
Construction/Production | 9 months | 2 years |
Lithium Recovery Rate | Up to 90% | 30-50% |
Land Use | Compact Facilities | Large Evaporation Ponds |
Environmental Impact | Low | Significant |
Unleashing the Power of Lithium
A Commitment to Sustainability
At the core of our approach is a strong commitment to protecting the environment and ensuring our operations align with global sustainability standards.
Water Preservation
Our technology minimizes the use of scarce water resources in the Atacama Desert, ensuring that local communities and ecosystems are unaffected.
