PARANSAS SOLUTIONS develops the ALLITIC™ Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) process, a capital‑efficient technology that recovers lithium from complex North American brines without using adsorption, solvent extraction, or membrane separation. The process is engineered for simplicity and low cost, targeting rapid scale‑up to address the region’s future lithium supply gap. PARANSAS partners with industry stakeholders to commercialize this next‑generation lithium recovery method.

Problem
Current Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) methods rely on adsorption, solvent extraction, or membrane separation, which are capital‑intensive, operationally complex, and often ineffective for high‑temperature, chemically complex brines found in North America. These limitations hinder scalable lithium production needed to close the regional supply gap.
Solution
Paransas Solutions offers the ALLITIC™ Direct Lithium Extraction process, a patent‑pending technology that eliminates adsorption, solvent extraction, and membranes. The process uses a reactive precipitation approach derived from proven critical‑mineral recovery techniques to convert dissolved lithium into a solid product within minutes. The resulting lithium precipitate can be separated with standard mining equipment, enabling a simple, capital‑efficient, and low‑cost operation. By leveraging conventional process hardware, the ALLITIC™ process achieves high availability, easy maintenance, and reduced water‑use and supply‑chain risks. This technology is engineered specifically for the hot, complex brines of the Smackover Formation, Leduc aquifer, and similar North American resources, providing a scalable pathway to increase domestic lithium output.
Target Audience
Primary customers are lithium producers, mining companies, and strategic partners seeking to develop or expand lithium extraction from complex, high‑temperature brine resources in the United States and Canada.
