PWI Analysis
Element3: connecting water quality to a destination
Extracts lithium from Permian Basin produced water.
Element3’s directory record lists Permian Basin. The geography source below documents the locations captured in this record; it is not a measure of current available capacity.
PWI perspective: Reuse and recovery require a destination as well as a process. A useful comparison follows treatment requirements, permissions, product quality and demand for the resulting water or material.
The question we would test for Element3: Is the destination authorized, what output quality is required, and who will use or buy the output?
