Mine Water Treatment

Mine water treatment can be a complex process. The mining industry uses a significant amount of water for transporting and processing ores, with water commonly sourced from rivers, lakes, bores, or pipelines. Water quality is highly important on mine sites, with different processing circuits often requiring different water quality to achieve the desired performance, and strict quality requirements imposed by environmental agencies for discharge/disposal.

Increased water availability through high recovery water treatment or additional water recycling are often key elements of water security for mines. Clean TeQ Water has experience helping clients reach a range of mine water treatment goals, including:

  • Treatment of acid mine drainage, tailings water, and process water for process reuse or compliant disposal to the environment
  • Treating groundwater (including hypersaline water) for use on site
  • Treatment of raffinate/tailings to recover valuable metals
  • Selective removal/recovery of many contaminants
  • Rapid dewatering of tailings into stackable solids and reusable water

The Benefits of Mine Water Treatment

Environmental Responsibility: Committing to effective mine water treatment is a fundamental pillar of our environmental stewardship strategy. It serves as a pivotal measure to safeguard delicate ecosystems and protect vital water resources. By ensuring the treatment of mine water prior to discharge, we play an active role in preventing the contamination of local waterways, thus safeguarding aquatic life and upholding the overall health of our precious environment.

Compliance Assurance: The mining industry operates within a rigorous regulatory framework, with stringent environmental guidelines. Failing to meet these standards can result in severe penalties and legal ramifications. Our mine water treatment services are designed to provide you with the utmost compliance assurance. We work diligently to ensure that your operations adhere to all relevant regulations, effectively mitigating the risk of legal issues and the associated financial burdens.

Resource Conservation: Water is an invaluable resource, and responsible usage is non-negotiable. Our treatment processes not only meet and exceed regulatory standards but also actively contribute to water conservation efforts. By efficiently treating and recycling water, we reduce the strain on local water supplies. This not only benefits the environment but also aligns with sustainable resource management practices.

Operational Excellence: Clean, treated water isn’t just a means of compliance; it’s a strategic asset for your mining operation. Our services enable you to recycle treated water within your processes, significantly diminishing the need for fresh water intake and wastewater discharge. This not only translates to lower operational costs but also enhances the overall sustainability of your mining activities, reducing your environmental footprint and ensuring a more responsible and efficient operation.
