The further optimization of the membrane module used can be achieved by the increase of their lifetime before replacement. As can be seen from Table 6, the drop in the membrane performance threshold MPT from 50 down to 30% for the worst-case scenario considered in this work (Rt = 4.5 h, RR of 95%) can decrease the number of replaced membrane modules from 21 down to 12 resulted in the increase of specific recovery rate from 67 up to 107 g(Li+)/module. In addition, we have also used the literature data on the concentration of nearly saturated brine solution by using a different configuration of membrane distillation for process simulation (Table 7). To our best knowl- edge, the simulation made based on the different membrane performance revealed the highest specific output was 2200 g(Li+) per module used (surface area of 2.5 m2 was fixed) for the integrated system based on the direct contact membrane distillation and multi-stage crystallization system [53] (see Table 6). In other words, the best reported in the literature configuration would allow for recovering 880 g(Li+) per 1 m2 of the membrane in the module. Taking into account the fact that the recovery of 0.9-1.4 kg of Li+ was associated with the precipitation of about 2.1–3.3 tons of NaCl in the crystallizer (see Table 5), the 14 potential loss of lithium as a result of so-crystallization shall also be considered in the further study. mbranes 2021, 11, 175 Table 6.

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)
