CANDLE Lithium Completes Pilot Project, Validating Commercial Viability of Lithium Extraction from Unconventional Brine
EDMONTON, Alberta - April 28th, 2026 - CANDLE Lithium has successfully completed its pilot project, marking a key step in the commercialization of its Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology. In a live field demonstration, the project successfully tested the ability to recover lithium from thousands of liters of unconventional brines at 200 liters/hour flow rate with high efficiency and minimal environmental impact. Results of the lithium recovery exceeded the CANDLE team's expectations, reflecting consistency with laboratory work.The pilot took place from April 7-17, 2026 in collaboration with a leading Canadian senior natural gas producer, supported by a specialized emissions control technology partner.
The completion of the pilot confirms that CANDLE's technology can be seamlessly integrated into existing industrial operations, particularly within the Oil & Gas sector. This validation carves a path for large-scale applications to meet the growing demand for lithium in North America, supporting the clean energy transition.
"Over the years, the CANDLE team has been working tirelessly to fine tune our proprietary lithium extraction process using shipped brines at our facility in Edmonton. Validating the robustness of CANDLE's technology by processing a live, challenging, low lithium-bearing produced water from a brownfield site - which had not been done previously - has brought our unique process another step closer to commercialization." - Salman Safari, President and CEO, CANDLE Lithium
CANDLE is now moving forward with plans to scale operations, targeting partnerships with major industrial players looking to integrate lithium recovery into their water management strategies.
"As the saying goes in the Edmonton startup community, we "stop pitching, start piloting" with our partners in Canada and internationally to collect more data, optimize our process, and design and build the commercial demonstration plant. CANDLE has several pilot projects with major players in the oil and gas and lithium sectors, which are now eager to see how CANDLE's pilot fares on their asset." - Salman Safari, President and CEO, CANDLE Lithium
