Comprehensive water management solutions for underground mining operations including mine dewatering, acid mine drainage treatment, and water reuse for dust suppression and process applications.
Treat aggregate wash water for sand, gravel and quarry operations.
Tailings thickening and solids flux solutions for mining water recovery.
Groundwater treatment for open pit mining dewatering. Handle high suspended solids, metals and sulphates for discharge or reuse.
Acid mine drainage treatment systems for mining operations. Pyrite oxidation control, metal precipitation, pH neutralisation and safe sludge management.
Underground mines face unique water management challenges including groundwater inflow, acid mine drainage, and water quality issues at depth. Effective dewatering and treatment are essential for safe operations, regulatory compliance, and sustainable water use.
Continuous groundwater inflow must be pumped from multiple mine levels to maintain dry working conditions and prevent flooding of shafts and workings.
Exposure of sulphide minerals to air and water generates acidic drainage with elevated metals requiring neutralisation and treatment before discharge.
Deep mine water often has elevated temperatures and may contain dissolved gases, requiring specialised handling and cooling before treatment.
Treated mine water can be reused for dust suppression, drilling, and process applications reducing freshwater consumption and discharge volumes.
High-lift pumping systems for removing water from deep shafts with multi-stage pumping and treatment at surface facilities.
Sump pumping and collection systems at each mine level to intercept groundwater and convey to main shaft for hoisting.
Active and passive treatment systems for acidic mine water including limestone drains, wetlands, and chemical conditioning and treatment plants.
Treated mine water reuse for roadway dust suppression, drill water, and other underground applications.
Management and treatment of water from development headings and exploration drifts including drilling fluids and cuttings.
Treatment to meet discharge permit requirements for pH, suspended solids, and metals before environmental release.
Sump pumping systems collect mine water from multiple levels for conveyance to surface treatment facilities.
Coarse screening removes debris, rock fragments, and rubbish from mine water before treatment.
Neutralisation of acidic mine water using limestone or chemical dosing to achieve pH 6-9 for discharge or reuse.
Clarification removes precipitated metals and suspended solids from neutralised mine water.
Treated water is reused for dust suppression and process applications or discharged under environmental permit.
Robust screening for removing debris and rock fragments from high-solids mine water before treatment.
Debris RemovalRemove abrasive sand and gravel to protect pumps and treatment equipment from premature wear.
