Aquatech's QuadPod™ unit has arrived onsite at the Prairie Lithium Project in Saskatchewan, Canada. The QuadPod™ is North America’s largest commercial Direct Lithium Extraction Unit (DLE) unit. The unit and consists of four full-scale Li-Pro™ columns in a modularized configuration.
The commercial-scale unit is approximately four times larger than the commercial DLE system currently deployed at Standard Lithium’s Arkansas project, demonstrating the scale of Prairie Lithium’s initial commercial development. Aquatech's modularized QuadPod™ unit consists of four full-scale Li-Pro columns. This marks one of the first ever implementations of large-scale modular lithium processing.
