Simultaneously, MAX Power is advancing a potential district- scale lithium brine/claystone project at the Willcox Playa in Arizona, southeast of Phoenix.

Key Points: 
  • Simultaneously, MAX Power is advancing a potential district- scale lithium brine/claystone project at the Willcox Playa in Arizona, southeast of Phoenix.
  • The technology approach is focussed on a two-step DLE process that combines omnisolute pre-treatment with permselective extraction using novel polymer membranes;
    The pre-treatment techniques involve electrokinetic control over a range of inputs.
  • This is particularly important for brine resources, where the amount of lithium may be low.”
    Mr. Rav Mlait, MAX Power CEO, commented: “Our partnership with Berkeley Lab has allowed MAX Power to develop new processes in the rapidly growing technology side of the booming lithium sector.
  • Berkeley Lab established LIRRIC to power lithium innovation and guide research and development into lithium extraction technologies so that science breakthroughs lead to the greatest economic and environmental benefits.

WinSert secondary window inserts provide an ultra-lightweight, custom retrofit solution to turn existing leaky, low-performing windows into air-tight, high-performing windows to improve the building envelope without the cost, time, and disruption required for window replacement.

Key Points: 
  • WinSert secondary window inserts provide an ultra-lightweight, custom retrofit solution to turn existing leaky, low-performing windows into air-tight, high-performing windows to improve the building envelope without the cost, time, and disruption required for window replacement.
  • The U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory evaluated Alpen's WinSert secondary window inserts at a two-story office building at the Denver Federal Center.
  • The results showed that the double-pane secondary window, WinSert Plus, is cost effective for most climate zones and at GSA medium and high utility rates.
  • As a complementary alternative to Alpen's ultra high-performance commercial window lines, Alpen has coupled thin glass window expertise with continued development of WinSert, a high-performance secondary window insert, to further advance the commercial secondary window market.
