Where LibertyCES specs Double Containment Piping

Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE)

Multi-source documented
Asahi/America Duo-Pro double containment in PP, PVDF or ECTFE (1x3 through 16x20, 150psi + drainage ratings, outer pipe designed to meet the EPA standard of at least 30 days of containment, simultaneous or staggered butt fusion, leak-detection cable installable on 2x6 and larger) · Asahi/America PAL-AT cable-based leak detection · LiquidWatch II electronic leak detection

Duo-Pro is Asahi's own recommended system for DLE brine/acid handling per the ASAHI FOR DLE source; named chemistries are sodium hypochlorite, chlorine dioxide and acids (lithium-rich brine eluents). The 30-day EPA containment figure is the quotable design basis on a DLE permitting conversation.
