Providing scalable water treatment technology and development across North America and select global basins.
Proprietary DLE technology designed for efficiency, repeatability and production of battery-grade Lithium Carbonate for commercial sales.
Successful pilot demonstrations with Lithium Carbonate production achieving 99.97% purity with clear path to commercial development.
Integrated lithium services from validation to deployment
Resource Delineation & Geophysics
Derived from decades of oil & gas exploration and resource validation which we have applied to several NA lithium assets, Empower has cultivated an experienced team that can support resource assessment for feasibility studies and subsequent resource development and implementation.
Resource Development and
Implementation
Our extensive experience in planning and implementing advanced drilling and well installation is being applied to NA assets to ensure maximum resource recovery in the most efficient designs. As this can be as large a capital cost as lithium recovery, doing this right with integration to the recovery technology is essential for project success.
Lithium Recovery
Lithium recovery involves three distinct services Water Treatment, Direct Lithium Extraction, and Conversion.
Water Treatment
Offered as a stand-alone service or part of our integrated lithium recovery technology, Empower has extensive experience designing, building and operating water treatment for produced waters through to geothermal brines. Our modular systems are fully adaptable to any water challenge creating a targetwater output for specified reuse, disposal or feed to Direct Lithium Extraction.
Direct Lithium Extraction
Empowers patented molecular sieve is superior to adsorbents by providing a physical barrier to larger contaminating ions in the recovery of lithium. It therefore produces a cleaner intermediate lithium chloride product at higher concentration than adsorbent alternatives making the conversion process more efficient and less costly. It also unlocks recovery from lower quality brine resources that are not suitable for recovery by adsorbents.
Conversion
Empower is a leader in downstream processing of DLE intermediaries to battery-grade lithium carbonate for product sales. Our process has consistently produced battery-grade products at pre-commercial scale from our own DLE process and from other processes using adsorbents.
Laboratory & Research Support
Empower has a state-of-the-art research laboratory in its Dallas headquarters. We provide full service brine characterization, DLE and conversion testing, media assessments and research and development opportunities. We have helped over 40 companies evaluate their resource, the technologies to exploit them and supported engineering design with the data required for project development and feasibility studies.
Engineering Support
Let Empowers experienced engineering team assist in delivering a lithium recovery solution tailored for your project needs. From 3D modelling of facilitiesthrough to application of our MinSim™ thermodynamic mass balance software, we can ensure the project meets nameplate design for product sales at the lowest cost possible while addressing EH&S and permitting needs.
