FilmTec™ LiNE-XLE HP Element
FilmTec™ LiNE-XLE HP element is a high-performance nanofiltration membrane designed to purify lithium brines in Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) processes. It efficiently removes sulfate and other multivalent ions from high-TDS brine streams while maintaining high lithium passage, helping producers maximize lithium recovery with minimal lithium loss. Optimized for low-energy operation and enhanced performance at pressures above 400 psi, FilmTec™ LiNE-XLE HP element combines advanced membrane chemistry with a fouling-resistant design to improve process efficiency, reduce operating challenges, and support reliable lithium production in demanding brine treatment applications.
Uses
- Sulfate and other multivalent anion removal from high TDS chloride-rich lithium brine streams.
- Brine treatment prior to the DLE adsorbent step.
- Preliminary screening element for the removal of divalent cations from high TDS, chloride rich lithium brine streams.
Advantages
- Efficient in removing sulfate (SO4) and divalent anions from a high total dissolved solids (TDS) lithium brine stream in Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) process.
- Expertly designed and optimized for membrane water permeability and divalent anion rejection to enable desired purification at low energy consumption.
- State-of-the-art membrane chemistry for high lithium passage, allowing negligible or no lithium mass loss in high recovery systems.
- Engineered element construction helps to reduce the operational challenges associated with fouling.
- Improved efficiency over FilmTec™ LiNE-XLE element when operating above 400 psi.
