Figure 4: Computer-Controlled Automated System to Test Lithium Extraction From Brines Source: SRI International A synthetic geothermal brine and an actual geothermal brine received from EnergySource were used to test the integrated system. Another filtration through a 20-micron filter was carried out before testing lithium adsorption. The automated integrated test setup (Figure 5) was comprised of a column with a 1-inch diameter and a jacket to maintain sorbent temperature by circulating hot and cold fluid. The jacketed sorbent column was designed to test the brine at a pre-set temperature. The test protocol involved passing the brine at 27 BV/hour through the column for 15 minutes (adsorption step), followed by a water wash for 10 minutes. The regeneration step involved passing deionized water through the column at 34 BV/hour. Diaphragm pumps with compatible wetted materials were used to circulate fluids in the system. Spent brine, the water wash, and regenerated solutions were separately collected for measurement, analysis, and post-processing. Solenoid valves were used to control the flow streams during automated operation. 18

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.
