Closely related to this first assessment is the extraction plan. While this is the main aspect in the development of a brine prospect, and the objective is to avoid interaction between disposal and extraction, the knowledge developed during this stage can be of great value for the selection of the disposal site. In other words, the extraction plan will provide a holistic view of all aspects considered in the basin data review, which will support the site selection. Figure 3. Li+ concentration evolution through production for a project in the lithium triangle -situation be- fore production start and after 20 and 100 years of production – SRK Consulting (2016b) Once a site-wide study of the potential disposal areas has been completed, and the benefits and disadvantages in terms of potential impact over the resource are identified, specific engineering and management aspects related to disposal can be considered. Among them, critical aspects will be the disposal area sizing, and the decision for tolerance/ allowance for seepage and infiltration (quantity and quality). The required area of disposal is linked to the evaporation capacity of the site and the expected spent brine flow, and the tolerance/allowance for seepage and infiltration. The brine storage volume (and level) is to be kept at minimum, both to avoid increasing earth- works (for storing/ retaining the increased brine volumes), and to maintain a low water head (main driver for infiltration). For a project such as the example used here, and depending on the Li+ concentration in the spent brine, an area between 500 ha and 1000 ha should be considered to achieve the objectives.

Product and Development Focus for Infinity Turbine

ORC Waste Heat Turbine and ORC System Build Plans: All turbine plans are $10,000 each. This allows you to build a system and then consider licensing for production after you have completed and tested a unit.

Redox Flow Battery Technology: With the advent of the new USA tax credits for producing and selling batteries ($35/kW) we are focussing on a simple flow battery using shipping containers as the modular electrolyte storage units with tax credits up to $140,000 per system.

Our main focus is on the salt battery. This battery can be used for both thermal and electrical storage applications.

We call it the Cogeneration Battery or Cogen Battery.

One project is converting salt (brine) based water conditioners to simultaneously produce power.

In addition, there are many opportunities to extract Lithium from brine (salt lakes, groundwater, and producer water).

Salt water or brine are huge sources for lithium. Most of the worlds lithium is acquired from a brine source. It's even in seawater in a low concentration. Brine is also a byproduct of huge powerplants, which can now use that as an electrolyte and a huge flow battery (which allows storage at the source).

We welcome any business and equipment inquiries, as well as licensing our turbines for manufacturing.
