ILiAD DLE technology showcased at SLB"s Nevada plant in September 2024

ILiAD Technologies, LLC has successfully implemented its direct lithium extraction (DLE) technology at SLB's Clayton Valley Demonstration Plant in Nevada, which was commissioned in March 2024. The operation has achieved high-purity, battery-grade lithium production, showcasing the effectiveness of ILiAD's technology in enhancing lithium recovery rates to 96 percent while significantly reducing land and water usage. The brine processing was conducted at a low temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit, highlighting the efficiency of the extraction process. The integration of DLE, concentration, and conversion technologies at the SLB plant has resulted in a production time that is 500 times faster than traditional methods. This advancement is crucial for meeting the growing demand for lithium, particularly in the electric vehicle sector. ILiAD's technology is designed to be flexible and can be optimized for various projects and conditions, making it a valuable asset in the sustainable production of lithium. ILiAD Technologies, a subsidiary of EnergySource Minerals, has garnered significant investment from SLB, which underscores the importance of their collaboration in advancing sustainable energy solutions. The successful demonstration phase at the Clayton Valley plant is a testament to the potential of ILiAD's technology to contribute to environmentally responsible lithium production. The CEO of ILiAD Technologies, Samuel Moore, expressed pride in the role their technology played in SLB's demonstration, emphasizing the importance of sustainable practices in the energy transition. This achievement not only supports the lithium supply chain but also aligns with global efforts to decarbonize and promote renewable energy sources.
