Figure 5: Automated Test System Schematic Source: SRI International A computer-based data acquisition and process control program was set up to operate the automated system. The following data were collected: • Liquid flow rate • Column pressure • Inlet stream temperature • Outlet stream temperature • pH of exit stream • Total dissolved solids (TDS) of exit stream As noted earlier, brine was pumped to the reactor using a diaphragm pump with a set flow rate for 15 minutes. The solenoid valves were controlled such that a slight air pressure was applied during the adsorption step, and the spent brine was collected in the spent brine tank. The pH was recorded during the adsorption step to monitor change in pH as lithium was adsorbed onto the sorbent and H+ was released. A TDS meter was used in the exit stream during the water-wash step. Based on the data collected during testing, TDS is a good indicator for the completion of the wash step. The water-wash step removes contaminants from the surface of the sorbent before regeneration. 19

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.
