Driven by the global shift toward electric vehicles and renewable energy storage, lithium mining and EV battery production are experiencing explosive growth. In the U.S. alone, the market is projected to generate over $20 million in demand for flow control products across more than 25 active and upcoming projects within the next five years.

Lithium’s critical role in EV batteries is fueling development across core application areas: extraction using direct lithium extraction (DLE), clay, ore, or brine methods; battery production; and post-consumer battery recycling. These processes often involve highly corrosive chemicals—such as sulfuric acid, sodium calcium hydroxide, sodium lithium carbonate, and kerosene—and require equipment capable of withstanding extreme operational and environmental conditions.

Harrington offers a comprehensive portfolio of chemical-resistant products designed specifically for these demanding applications. From fluid handling systems and chemical storage tanks to automated valves and instrumentation, our solutions support each phase of the lithium lifecycle—from raw material extraction to purification, production, and recycling.

With strategically located inventory and a dedicated team of technical experts — including pump, tank, instrumentation, and flow control specialists—Harrington delivers more than just components. We provide the process expertise, material knowledge, and application support needed to keep lithium and EV battery operations running safely, efficiently, and profitably.
