LEWISVILLE, Arkansas — Smackover Lithium has entered into an engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (“EPCC”) agreement with S&B Engineers and Constructors for the Central Processing Facility of its South West Arkansas Project.
Smackover Lithium is a partnership between Standard Lithium Ltd. and Equinor, through subsidiaries of Equinor ASA.
S&B is an integrated EPC company with proven industrial construction expertise and a strong U.S. and regional presence. S&B will be supported by Hatch Ltd., an engineering, project delivery and professional services firm with extensive experience in mineral resource projects, and specific experience designing and commissioning lithium projects.
Hatch will provide design engineering and commissioning support to S&B as a subcontractor. S&B will deliver EPCC services including detailed engineering design, procurement, installation and construction, testing, startup and commissioning for the CPF.
This includes receipt of brine (from wellfield), pre-treatment, direct lithium extraction, purification and concentration of the lithium chloride, conversion to a battery-quality lithium carbonate with final product crystallization, drying, micronizing, bagging and handling facilities, and all associated utilities.
The CPF will be located on the project’s 118-acre plot off Arkansas 29, about five miles south of Lewisville.
