Made for the electric now.
Lilac is a leading technology provider of commercially ready ion exchange (IX) solutions that unlock faster, cheaper, and cleaner production to meet lithium needs now, not later.
Our unique materials, engineering, and partnership approach uniquely position us to design and deliver commercial solutions across various lithium sources.
IX technology that actually works.
Nearly a decade in the making, our proprietary advances in materials and process engineering turn ion exchange technology into a powerful solution for lithium production.
We’ve developed and patented novel IX materials, equipment configurations, and flowsheets to ensure our technology overcomes historical cost limitations of the IX category. Lilac IX matches the promise of IX performance with durability and affordability.

Improve public acceptance with Lilac’s modern, closed-loop approach, minimizing land disturbance and sharply reducing freshwater consumption.
Enable local production of lithium with technology that works with high-grade, low-grade, and complex brines, applicable to both traditional and unconventional brine resources.
Produce high-purity lithium products at first and second-quartile costs regardless of brine complexity or grade.
Strengthen your supply chain against market interference with materials and technology designed, engineered, and manufactured in the United States.
Battery-grade, field tested.
We have spent years maturing our technology from lab bench to demonstration scale, often in extreme environments, solving challenges and driving down costs along the way. The result is a derisked solution ready to reliably produce high-purity lithium products at commercial volumes.
The Great Salt Lake resource represents perhaps the ultimate proving ground for direct lithium extraction, featuring a highly saturated brine with a lithium grade 30x lower than the Atacama in a sensitive environment. Despite this, Lilac’s technology delivers investment-worthy OPEX without the need for evaporation ponds.
A collaborative approach focused on delivering real results.
Our outcome-focused approach helps customers quickly build project confidence while derisking economics and engineering. We work with customers through each stage of the journey and are flexible to a variety of commercial structures.
Establish key parameters and create line-of-sight to project via lab testing.
Confirm performance to obtain permits, finalize engineering, and secure financing.
Flexible design and supply agreements via license or equivalent.
