Engineering, experience and applied knowledge for critical lithium and other product processes

BEYOND ENGINEERING

Critical Technical Decisions Require Validation

Lithium projects involve complex challenges from their earliest stages, including brine variability, process scaling, technology validation, and the definition of production strategies.

At Ad Infinitum, we combine engineering, process modeling, pilot testing, and technology validation to support critical decisions with reliable technical evidence.

Our approach integrates operational experience, engineering analysis, and experimental testing to evaluate alternatives, optimize processes, and reduce risk before industrial scale-up.

DIFFERENTIATOR

Before investing, we help assess which process and technology may work best for each project

Experimental validation using real brines

Technology assessment and comparison

Correlation between process modeling and operational performance

Assessment of technical and operational risks

Process optimization and scale-up strategy development

PILOTING CENTER

A Facility to Validate Processes and Reduce Technical Uncertainty

Located in Antofagasta, Ad Infinitum’s Piloting Center and Process Laboratory enables the evaluation of different stages of the production process using real brines.

The facility integrates capabilities in solar evaporation, Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE), membrane technologies, solid-liquid separation, purification, adsorption, ion exchange, and lithium compound production.

Testing programs help validate technologies, optimize process parameters, reduce technical risks, and correlate process models with actual operating performance.
