Determining the three-dimensionality of the geology is important, as the ground surface and in the subsurface. Hence, capturing the spatial relationships between fluid flow and liberation of lithium into the groundwater system takes place both at the the geological units and with the topography allows the vertical ordering and thicknesses ground surface and in the subsurface.

The model provides a framework that the geological units and with the topography allows the vertical ordering and thicknesses can be used to consider the evolution and movement of lithium-bearing water from source of individual units to be inferred of the geology.

Ternary plots (Figure 6) are a valuable tool for characteristics, as identified in imagery discussed in Section 2, allow areas to be grouped understanding such similarities; in these, we plot a pixel’s position according to the three together or separated based on certain characteristics.

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.
