Aquatech’s large-scale crystallization equipment is on its way to Thacker Pass, supporting the development of America’s first large-scale lithium clay extraction plant.
As construction progresses, the US-manufactured crystallizer components will travel U.S. Route 50 before arriving at the Thacker Pass site.
The continued development of Thacker Pass represents an important step in expanding domestic lithium production in the United States. As demand for battery-grade lithium continues to grow, access to reliable domestic supply is becoming increasingly important to U.S. energy security and supply chain resilience.
The journey is a significant undertaking, reflecting the scale of equipment required to support commercial-scale lithium production. Through proven technology and execution at scale, Aquatech is proud to support the next generation of domestic lithium production.
