Lanran’s BPED System Achieves Stable Operation at High-Altitude Lithium Salt Lake Project in Xizang
In May 2026, Lanran’s Bipolar Membrane Electrodialysis (BPED) resource recovery system successfully commenced operation at the Mami Co Salt Lake lithium project in Ngari, Xizang, at an altitude of 4,480 meters. Following system commissioning and process optimization, the plant has entered a stable continuous operation phase. Integrated with a 50,000 t/y lithium carbonate production base, the project utilizes Lanran’s BPED technology to convert sodium chloride-rich by-product streams generated during lithium extraction into reusable hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). This closed-loop process reduces waste generation, lowers chemical procurement costs, and supports more sustainable lithium production. Despite the challenges of high-altitude construction and operation, the project team successfully completed equipment installation, system integration, commissioning, and performance verification. On June 2, the BPED system achieved stable acid and alkali production, with product quality exceeding design requirements. Supported by a centralized DCS control system, the plant continuously optimizes operating parameters to ensure stable product quality and long-term operational reliability under demanding plateau conditions. As another successful application of Lanran’s proven salt lake lithium extraction solutions, the Mami Co project highlights the maturity and industrial readiness of Bipolar Membrane Electrodialysis technology. The system enables on-site conversion of waste salt streams into valuable acids and alkalis for internal reuse, helping lithium producers improve resource utilization, reduce chemical consumption, and advance low-carbon, circular production practices. As a specialist in membrane separation and resource recovery technologies, Lanran remains committed to advancing sustainable solutions for lithium extraction, battery recycling, industrial wastewater treatment, and acid/alkali recovery applications worldwide.
Turning Sodium Sulfate into Sulfuric Acid and Caustic Soda: A Large-Scale Bipolar Membrane Success Story
Turn High-Salinity Wastewater into Sulfuric Acid & Caustic Soda Onsite Lanran’s Bipolar Membrane Electrodialysis (BPED) system enables industries to directly convert sodium sulfate in wastewater into reusable industrial chemicals: Sulfuric Acid (H₂SO₄), Caustic Soda (NaOH). Reduce chemical procurement costs, minimize waste disposal, and build a closed-loop production system. Why Industrial Companies Choose BPED The industrial park in Tumxuk City hosts textile, viscose fiber, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, generating large volumes of high-salinity wastewater, with sodium sulfate as the main component. Traditional treatment via evaporation and crystallization faces key limitations: High energy and operating costs Limited product market value High transportation and disposal expenses Continuous demand for externally purchased acids and alkalis These challenges significantly increase overall production costs for local industries. A Better Solution: Bipolar Membrane Electrodialysis (BPED) Lanran BPED technology transforms sodium sulfate into valuable chemicals directly within your plant. How does it work?Electric field-driven membrane separation converts Na₂SO₄ into: Acid (H₂SO₄) for process use Alkali (NaOH) for production and wastewater treatment This creates a closed-loop chemical system that replaces external chemical purchases. Proven Industrial Performance A large-scale project in Xinjiang demonstrates real industrial impact: Feed concentration: ~260 g/L Na₂SO₄ Capacity: 8.61 m³/h Annual salt conversion: >15,000 tons Annual NaOH output: ~8,500 tons Annual H₂SO₄ output: >10,000 tons The system is estimated to reduce chemical procurement costs by approximately 60 million RMB per year, while maintaining significantly lower energy consumption compared with conventional chemical supply chains.

Electrodialysis Technology for High-Purity Phosphorylcholine Desalination
A recent industrial desalination project using electrodialysis technology has demonstrated stable and efficient purification performance for phosphorylcholine-related products. The system integrates an AIO416-500S alloy membrane electrodialysis unit together with a 416-type heterogeneous membrane system, allowing flexible operation under different production capacities. During operation, feed solution conductivity was successfully reduced from approximately 50 mS/cm to below 60 μS/cm, achieving a desalination rate exceeding 99% while maintaining low product loss. Importantly, the electrodialysis process had minimal impact on product pH, helping preserve material stability throughout purification. Compared with conventional desalination methods, electrodialysis offers several advantages for fine chemical and pharmaceutical intermediate applications: ✔ Low wastewater discharge ✔ Low operating pressure ✔ Compact footprint ✔ Lower energy consumption ✔ Stable continuous operation The project has now entered stable production operation, with treatment performance fully meeting customer expectations. As industries continue seeking cleaner and more resource-efficient purification technologies, electrodialysis is becoming an increasingly valuable solution for high-value product desalination and process optimization.
