- Generation 4 Field Unit system scaled-up capacity to 2,500 barrels per day (480,000 litres per day) of lithium-infused oilfield brine represents one of industry’s largest operational direct lithium extraction (“DLE”) field units to date
- Generation 5 Field Unit to be commissioned during January 2025 to process up to 10,000 barrels per day (1.9 million litres per day)
- Lithium recoveries of up to 98% achieved during field scale-up, with inlet brine concentrations as low as 25 mg/L
CALGARY, Alberta, Dec. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Volt Lithium Corp. (TSXV: VLT | OTCQB: VLTLF) ("Volt" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the achievement of another pivotal milestone on the path to commercializing its proprietary and proven next-generation Direct Lithium Extraction (“DLE”) technology for processing oilfield brines. The Company has scaled-up its U.S. field operations to process over 2,500 barrels per day (“bbls/d”) (equivalent to 480,000 litres per day) from the Permian Basin in Texas. Additionally, Volt has completed over 200 operational runs in the field since commencing operations and achieving first lithium production in September 2024.
