This equipment will be used for both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the planned testing at the Demonstration Facility. Article content The equipment consists of five separate skids that will be tied together to operate fully automated. Over the next few weeks, all equipment will be assembled on-site and tested to ensure that no damage occurred during transport. The commissioning of the equipment will begin with leak testing and electrical inspections, and then raw brine will begin to be processed. Phase 1 of the demonstration program concludes with the completion of the commissioning using brine available on the surface and the production of lithium carbonate. Article content 'The arrival of the equipment officially kicks off our Demonstration Program and is a key milestone towards commercial lithium production,' said Chris Doornbos, President and CEO of E3 Lithium.
