Advanced solutions for mining industry challenges At OLI, we specialize in tackling the complexities of the mining industry. Our comprehensive consulting services and state-of-the-art software enable precise modeling of chemical processes, facilitating the design of efficient extraction and purification methods that mitigate issues like scaling and corrosion. Partner with us to optimize your operations, extend equipment lifespan and meet stringent environmental regulations. Complex chemical behavior in highly concentrated environments reduces operations efficiency and sustainability Rudimentary understanding of chemical behavior and related phenomena makes it impossible to accurately predict multi-component behavior in highly concentrated brines resulting in low yields and high costs. In addition, poor asset integrity created by scaling, fouling and corrosion while the inability to eliminate toxins waste water negatively impacts the environment. Increase yields and product quality, lower costs and toxic contamination The ability to characterize complex chemistry behavior under a wide range of operating conditions in highly concentrated solutions coupled with deep domain knowledge of applications and industry experience unlocks significant business value. - Developed a more effective, end-to-end plant design for lithium extraction from brines in the USA; increased lithium yield by 15%, product purity by 20% and lowered heating costs by 15%. - Successfully mitigated corrosion risk for a rare-earth-element extraction plant by analyzing the design from the kiln digester to the carbonate precipitator and providing safe operating envelopes. - Analyzed evaporation behaviour of multiple salar brines and provided insights to optimize the process to produce different salable salts.
