Article content
Key equipment containing the Company’s proprietary lithium extraction and processing technology (or “LEP” technology) is being shipped to ChemicalCo1’s site (For pictures of the FCL Demo Plant, please see www.fullcirclelithium.com under Photo Gallery).
Initial site review and civil/mechanical engineering design work have commenced at the site, and all site preparation and interconnections to FCL’s tanks and other equipment already shipped and on site are being completed. FCL will also be shipping its LEP control module to manage the FCL Demo Plant on-site and remotely from the control center at the Georgia plant once in operation.
“This has been a highly technical process and we are ecstatic to now be at this stage,” said Mr. Carlos Vicens, Founder, CEO & Director of FCL. “It has taken an enormous amount of work from our entire team to be where we are today. There are a lot of moving parts, everything is now coming together and we are looking forward to having our Demo Plant installed and commissioned in a very short period of time.”
Article content
The purpose of the FCL Demo Plant is to demonstrate at a large scale and under industrial conditions, using FCL’s LEP technology, the Company’s ability to extract and process ChemicalCo1’s lithium that is lost in the manufacturing process and to produce a lithium product of sufficient purity and that meets all specifications for purchase and direct use by ChemicalCo1. Given its modular design, the FCL Demo Plant can be expanded into an operating commercial plant. Once in full production, the modular FCL commercial plant will be designed for an initial capacity of 500 tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent per annum, and capacity can be expanded as required.
Through extensive testing the FCL LEP technology has proven highly successful in extracting lithium over a large number of cycles. The Company has built and is operating large-scale equipment for commercial-scale production of its LEP technology.
Article content
The FCL Demo Plant and FCL LEP technology are environmentally focused processes using minimal reagents. FCL is aligned with the sustainability and cost objectives of its customers, communities and governmental infrastructure initiatives.
