E3 lithium announces direct lithium extraction skid arrival and field pilot plant construction complete.
E3 LITHIUM LTD. (TSXV: ETL) (FSE: OW3) (OTCQX: EEMMF), “E3 Lithium” or the “Company,” Alberta’s leading lithium developer and extraction technology innovator, announces that a Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) skid arrived on site, signalling the completion of construction of the DLE field pilot plant.
All major pieces of equipment required to begin commissioning are now on site. Next steps include connecting the DLE equipment to the pilot plant’s piping and wiring system. Site commissioning, in which operators inspect and test each section of the pilot plant to ensure proper operations, has begun.
Chris Doornbos, President and CEO, said:
The arrival of the DLE skid, the cornerstone of the field pilot plant, is an important milestone for E3 in that it enables us to start commissioning and begin operations shortly afterwards.
“We are incredibly excited to begin operating Alberta’s first DLE field pilot plant in a matter of weeks.”
Commissioning is anticipated to take up to 10 days to complete. E3 Lithium will announce when this process is complete and full operations have begun.
