About DLE America

A practical platform for domestic lithium production

DLE America is being developed to unlock lithium value from produced water generated by oil and gas operations. Our business model centers on modular deployment: compact, skid-mounted units that can be standardized, replicated, and integrated with existing field infrastructure. The goal is to shorten development cycles, reduce execution complexity, and build a scalable pathway to domestic lithium carbonate supply.

Core Value Proposition

Recover lithium from underutilized produced brine resources.

Deploy standardized 1,000 TPA lithium carbonate modules.

Minimize site construction with factory-built skid systems.

Support phased expansion through repeatable modular trains.

Modular by Design

DLE America develops modular, skid-mounted Direct Lithium Extraction systems designed to convert produced oil and gas brine into battery-grade lithium carbonate with scalable 1,000 TPA production units.

Built for Oilfield Brines

Our focus is on produced water streams from existing oil and gas operations, enabling lithium recovery from underutilized brine resources while integrating with field infrastructure.

Fast Deployment

Factory-fabricated skids support phased deployment, reduced site construction risk, repeatable performance, and lower capital intensity versus large custom-built plants.

What We Do

Technology-led project development

We focus on the full value chain required to turn oilfield brine into a commercial lithium product. DLE America is designed around modular processing units that can be manufactured, transported, and installed with greater speed and consistency than conventional stick-built facilities.

  • Produced-brine feedstock evaluation and lithium recovery strategy
  • Modular skid-mounted DLE process units
  • 1,000 TPA lithium carbonate production trains
  • Scalable hub-and-spoke project development model
  • Field integration with existing water handling systems
  • Commercialization pathway from pilot to multi-train buildout
STEP 01
Source

Identify produced brine streams with attractive lithium concentration, chemistry, and logistics near existing oil and gas infrastructure.

STEP 02
Extract

Apply Direct Lithium Extraction technology in modular skids to selectively recover lithium from complex brine compositions.

STEP 03
Convert

Refine recovered lithium into lithium carbonate through a compact downstream process configuration designed for repeatable quality.

STEP 04
Scale

Replicate 1,000 TPA units across qualified sites to accelerate growth while maintaining execution discipline and modular standardization.

Why It Matters

Domestic supply, modular execution, field-ready deployment

DLE America is positioned to support a more localized lithium supply chain by developing practical lithium carbonate production systems around produced brine resources. Our emphasis on modularity is intended to improve repeatability, accelerate construction, and create a disciplined path from early demonstration to commercial multi-unit expansion.
