Standard Lithium (TSX.V: SLI) (NYSE American: SLI) (FRA: S5L), a leading near-commercial, lithium-development company, has successfully commissioned and validated the performance of the largest continuously-operating Direct Lithium Extraction (“DLE”) equipment in North America. According to the announcement, Standard Lithium recently installed a commercial-scale Li-Pro(TM) Lithium Selective Sorption (“LSS”) DLE column at its demonstration plant, which is located near El Dorado, Arkansas. Supplied by Koch Technology Solutions LLC, the column is believed to be the largest DLE installation and the only example of a commercial-scale DLE column in operation in North America. Currently, the column is extracting lithium from Smackover Formation brine at an input flow rate of 90 gallons per minute (“gpm”). “Importantly, the column currently operating at SLI’s demonstration plant is identical to those that will be used in the commercial application, both in terms of the size, design and construction of the column, as well as the sorbent media being used inside,” said Standard Lithium director, president and COO Dr. Andy Robinson in the press release. “As such, this important collaboration between SLI and KTS at our demonstration plant is the first example in North America of DLE technology being deployed successfully using commercial-scale equipment. Validation of performance and successful operation of this column is a significant derisking step on our way to becoming the next major sustainable lithium producer in North America.”
