Four categories of lithium assets.

More lithium from the reserve you already control.

For operators and prospecting permit holders working salars in the Lithium Triangle, North America, and Australia. Large-scale operations and earlier-stage developers.

What M.L.E. does here:

• Approximately 39 percent OpEx reduction per cubic meter of feed
• Over 19 percent capacity uplift on the same brine volume
• De-lithiated effluent suitable for aquifer re-injection, supporting sustainable brine management
• No disruption to existing precipitation lines

Deployment: Separation as a service, priced per cubic meter. Modular skids on site.

The 20 percent you are currently throwing away.

For spodumene refiners in Australia and beyond. Talison, Covalent, Pilbara, Core Lithium and peers. Industry-wide, only about 4 percent of the lithium present in refinery wastewater is currently captured.

What M.L.E. does here:

• Convert a waste stream into a revenue stream without changing upstream operations
• Reduce environmental liability on tailings discharge
• Improve total lithium recovery per ton of ore processed

Deployment: Bolt-on membrane skid integrated with existing wastewater handling.

A new revenue stream from water you already manage.

For oil and gas operators in the US Gulf states and beyond. Produced water is currently a disposal cost. The lithium in it has never been a revenue line. M.L.E. changes that.

What M.L.E. does here:

• Add a revenue stream to existing energy operations
• Process at the wellhead, eliminating disposal logistics
• Validate lithium reserves on assets you already control
• No interruption to hydrocarbon production

Deployment: Modular skid integration with existing produced water handling.

The only extraction method that returns water at 60 degrees Celsius.

For geothermal energy operators and holders of low-concentration groundwater assets. Vulcan Energy, Cornish Lithium, Fervo, Ormat, and earlier-stage developers in the EU and US.

Why conventional Direct Lithium Extraction (D.L.E.) does not work here:

• Geothermal plants must return water to the reservoir at high temperature, typically 60 degrees Celsius. Conventional D.L.E. operates below 40.
• Low-concentration assets (under 200 ppm) fall outside the operating window of conventional D.L.E.

What M.L.E. does here:

• Operates at temperatures up to 70 to 80 degrees Celsius, compatible with geothermal return requirements
• Recovers lithium economically at concentrations down to 20 ppm when throughput is high
• Adds a revenue stream to energy operations or unlocks previously uneconomic groundwater assets

Reference project: Golan, Israel. 20 ppm groundwater. Meaningful lithium recovery from high-throughput operation.
Deployment: Modular skid integration with existing brine or water handling infrastructure.
