Sci., 2021, 14, 3152). Seawater represented the most challenging case of low-grade lithium resource with the lowest lithium concentration (~0.2 ppm) and the highest Mg/Li ratio (> 7000), which we have conquered.</p><p><br/></p><p>Having said that, it would take over one million tons of seawater (0.2 ppm) to produce one tonne of lithium carbonate. LiHyTech’s proprietary technology could be applied to substantially more economical sources of brine feedstock, which are also abundant in nature.</p><p><br/></p><p><img src="/upload/image/2023-10/1698587749469918.png" title="1698587749469918.png" alt="Picture12.png"/></p></div></div><p><br/></p><div class="jl-con1"><div class="tit">Pilot Study – Oilfield Produced Water</div><div class="desc"><p><br/></p><p>Oilfield brine represents a fantastic prospect for LiHyTech to further apply our technology and achieve commercialization, due to three main advantages:</p><p><br/></p><p style="text-indent: 2em;">Ø Zero drilling capital</p><p style="text-indent: 2em;">Ø Pumping and disposal of oilfield brine is already a sunk cost by operators and not additional cost to DLE</p><p style="text-indent: 2em;">Ø Strong support from Saudi government and partners to bring our technology to commercialization</p><p><br/></p><p>Early review of oilfield brine samples is inspiring, with lithium content and impurity composition exceeding our expectations, especially low Mg/Li ratio (<30) in many samples. LiHyTech expects a pilot module to be finished in the next six months with production capacity of 100kg LCE / annum from oilfield brine (1/10 to 1/100 the size of our actual extraction module), incorporating mature engineering designs which simulate actual field operations.</p><p><br/></p><p><img src="/upload/image/2023-11/1701008839291149.png" title="1701008839291149.png" alt="013.png"/></p></div></div><ul class="jl-list2 list-paddingleft-2"><li><p><br/></p></li><li><p><br/></p></li></ul><div class="jl-con1"><div class="tit">Our Module</div></div><div class="jl-info1"><div class="lbox"><div class="jl-con2"><br/><div class="pic"><img src="/upload/image/2023-10/1698581481490443.png" alt="Picture7.png" title="1698581481490443.png"/></div></div></div><div class="rbox"><div class="jl-con3"><div class="tit">Plug & Play</div><p>Shipping containers refurnished, transported and seamlessly connected to any oilfield water treatment/disposal system</p><br/><div class="tit">100% Solar-powered</div><p>All five sides of any modular unit are automated by AI to continuously adjust angle for maximum solar power generation given the time of day, with built-in power storage enabling 24/7 operation</p><br/><div class="tit">Fully Automated</div><p>The entire production process is 100% automated and continuous with minimal human interference</p></div></div></div>
