Brine valorisation frameworks integrating science, policy, and investment logic to create and deploy actionable zero waste discharge roadmaps.
 

Core Areas:

• Seawater desalination brine valorisation solutions, optionally co-located with AI and hydrogen energy generation hubs:

Conceptual design for circular precincts where desalination, data generation, and mineral recovery intersect. Strategies may include shared intake/outfall corridors, heat-exchange integration, and hydrogen and magnesium recovery components for turning brine discharge liabilities into sustainable value streams.

​

• Valorisation of spent brine from direct lithium extraction (DLE) processes:

Developing technology-driven value-adding pathways by applying Salpro technology for selective recovery of minerals from spent brine of proposed DLE projects, consistent with brine re-injection regulatory frameworks, and ESG and circular-economy principles.

Methods:

• Development of technology applicability packages for the best-fit brine valorisation options

• Multi-criteria data analysis for ranking the options and trade-offs

• Product market studies for the recoverable minerals and derivatives

• Pilot-to-commercial scale-up roadmaps

• Lifecycle and ESG assessments, undertaken by independent experts

• Stakeholder and regulator engagement frameworks

Deliverables:

Pathways and roadmaps, implementation strategies, project proponent/investor
briefs, procurement and partnering frameworks, and risk-allocation models.
