Prairie Grade & Flow Rates, page-10

i have been doing a bit of research in this space recently so thought id chime in here.

flow rate = logistics (getting the product from point a to point b)

however I feel what is missing in this conversation is extraction and the DLE technologies ability to remove the lithium from the volumes of water that the flow rate creates

Whilst it may sound good to pump fast the focus should be in how can the operations extract the lithium at high efficiency at those flow rates. Management of water volumes and the ability to pump it back down into the ground will have a significant influence on how fast it will be pumped out of the ground. furthermore if faster flow rates decrease extraction efficiency then that will throttle it even further. They don't have a lot per liter of water so they will need to ensure efficiency rates remain high.

Just because your car has a lot of horsepower doesn't mean you will win the race.
