DLE Technology — Game changer or overhyped?
The MIT breakthrough in direct lithium extraction looks promising on paper, but I've seen several DLE technologies fail to scale commercially. What's different this time? Anyone with direct experience in DLE pilot programs willing to share insights?

As we move forward, and we understand the relevance of systems to protect our environment, this technology changes the game, creates a solution for the water usage and treatment, and in some cases has been proven at scale, as it is with companies like Summit Nanotech

Summit Nanotech is today the lead DLE tech company in Chile and the world. Fro Calgary Canada have been testing their tech in different lithium brines, even at scale, to now prove what the lab tests said were ok!
