In Çamaltı Salina, 500,000 tons of NaCl is produced in a year. That means 14,285,714 tons of sea water is processed in NaCl production. The sea water is concentrated up to 10 folds which means the total amount of sea water reduces approximately to 1.5 M tons. After NaCl is produced, the residue is fed back to sea directly. In order to process that much of water in a year one has to use pumps with a capacity of 260 kg/min. Totally 13 tons of Li2CO3 can be produced from that amount of sea water. The price of lithium carbonate is 8540 USD/ton commercially [103] which means 111,020 USD annual income. The cost of the system is roughly estimated by utilizing a standard 22” diameter column with a 4 m height. The volume of each column is calculated as 1 m3. The density of the beads is known as 1 g/cm3. 1 ton of beads can adsorb 7 kg Li, which means 30 kg Li2CO3. In order to have 13 tons of Li2CO3 as a product, columns must be saturated 430 times in a year. In the basis of lab-scale experiments done in this thesis work, approximately 0.5 L of water is enough to sweep 38.5 g of beads which scales up to 12.5 m3 of water to sweep 1 ton of beads. 14.35 ml HCl is enough to elute 38.5 g of beads, which scales up to 372 kg HCl to elute 1 ton of beads. Half of the acid is required as ammonia to neutralize it. According to these rough estimations, the expanses were listed in Table D. 2.

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)
