  • The first pilot plant in Latin America to be suitable for testing all types of brines

    Up in the highland plateau of Salta, Tecpetrol has launched the first pilot plant in Latin America which is suitable for testing all types of brines.

    The plant will be able to test 25 tons/year of Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (LCE), processing up to 1,000 liters of brine per hour.

    Thanks to innovative direct extraction technology, the plant will carry out extended testing to define the key indicators that will allow industrial-scale processing:

    _ lithium recovery percentage
    _ rejection of impurities
    _ water and energy consumption
