The brine is typically pumped to the surface by a geothermal power plant, used for energy generation, and then returned to the underground deposit via an injection well, or discharged to a surface waterway. In an effort to maximize efficiency and cut waste, some facilities have implemented technology to extract valuable materials, such as lithium, manganese, and zinc, from the brines prior to disposal. Recovery of lithium from geothermal brines may entail reverse osmosis (RO) and ion exchange (IX) units, among other technologies. Oil field brine deposits Oil fields are lands with underground petroleum reservoirs. In extracting oil and gas from oil fields, a significant amount of brine is also brought to the surface as well. Known as “produced water,” these brines are often rich in dissolved metals, which can include lithium in some locations. Over the past several years, the increasing demand for lithium has inspired some oil field facilities to implement technologies to recover lithium from produced water. Technologies used for this purpose have included gravity separation, gas flotation, and flocculation, among others. Alternative sources of lithium Lithium is present in land and water across the earth, though generally in such small concentrations that commercial extraction simply isn’t viable.

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)
