Resources are planning to develop commercial operations in the next few years, and Berkshire Hathaway Energy is pursuing a pilot demonstration. All are planning to deploy lithium-selective sorbent processes. Opportunity to reduce production costs may come from research focused on improved sorbent performance, improved process design and efficiency, and/or breakthroughs in performance of other DLE technologies. Additional considerations beyond the specific cost and performance of lithium extraction processes relate to impacts of the tail fluid on the geothermal reservoir. Injectate after lithium removal might be cooler than the normal power plant rejection temperature. Re-saturation of the brine with lithium could be affected by injectate access to lithium-bearing rocks in the reservoir and by injectate residence time. Reservoir modeling combined with details of lithium distribution in the reservoir could clarify the importance of these potential impacts from lithium extraction from the geothermal brine. 23 This report is available at no cost from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) at www.nrel.gov/publications.PDF Image | Lithium Extraction from Geothermal Brines

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.CONTACT TEL: 608-238-6001 Email: greg@infinityturbine.com (Standard Web Page)
