Pilot Plant Vulcan has designed, built, commissioned and is now successfully operating its own Pilot Plant to sustainably extract lithium. The team has successfully achieved target specification for Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) feed into its Pilot Plant and has also achieved target recovery of greater than 90% for lithium chloride from Upper Rhine Valley brine. Initial success provided further momentum as the Pilot Plant operation scaled up to full capacity and Vulcan’s systematic execution on our Zero Carbon Lithium™ Project ensures that the global transition to renewables, energy storage, and electric mobility is conducted in a sustainable, net zero manner. Alongside the Pilot Plant, Vulcan have also secured our own laboratory based in Karlsruhe and are working with world-leading research organisations to achieve the best possible performance across our zero fossil fuels, zero carbon flowsheet. Vulcan have worked strategically over the last year to attract world-leading experts and build the facilities required to innovate traditional forms of lithium extraction and move successfully into full operation in the shortest amount of time while also ensuring that we are always adhering to our net zero emissions, environmentally focused purpose.
