Mine water treatment enhanced, ecological and economical
Drive efficiency and safety in mine water processes, from procurement to treatment and discharge
Mine water treatment plays a crucial role in mining operations, whether in guaranteeing a ready supply of fresh water for workforces, or in support of vital processes such as separation. However, procurement and treatment of the needed volumes of water are not the only challenges. Treating wastewater for safe discharge is equally complex. All of these challenges are compounded when operating in a remote location. The Endress+Hauser portfolio offers multiple solutions for mine water treatment.
10%
of the mining industry's CAPEX
is spent on water-related infrastructure according to the International Council on Mining & Metals (ICMM) and the International Finance Corporation (IFC).
How we can help
Endress+Hauser offers a broad range of sensor instrumentation to support optimal mine water processes, from monitoring of desalination of extracted water, to industrial water preparation, to treatment of water for discharge.
Monitor and control desalination to ensure safe consumption
Control essential parameters to optimize energy and chemicals used in water preparation
Balance wastewater treatment efforts to ensure compliance with efficiency
Applications
Effective and efficient desalination
Desalination is increasingly relied upon in mining to ensure a water supply. One of the most common desalination techniques, reverse osmosis relies on filtering seawater through specialized membranes. The challenge for mine operators is to guarantee long filtration cycles without harming the membranes, which can be prone to blockages, fouling and scaling.
Our expertise in the field
Close process monitoring is essential to avoid downtime, and Endress+Hauser offers a complete portfolio covering all necessary parameters.
Multiple parameters must be monitored in the preparation of mining water, such as pH to ensure the efficiency of settling, and turbidity to determine the level of the suspended solids.
Our expertise in the field
Cutting edge Endress+Hauser digital Memosens sensors enable accurate and reliable monitoring of all essential parameters for optimal water preparation.
Measure and control water quality reliably and with accuracy
Calibrate with ease and without disturbing the process using removable sensor heads
Combine up to eight Memosens sensors with a Liquiline transmitter for remote monitoring of multiple parameters
The primary challenge for mine operators when treating wastewater is to find a balance between guaranteeing compliant effluent quality whilst minimizing costs.
Our expertise in the field
Endress+Hauser offers a fully dedicated portfolio of technologies for water processing and management, to enable such a balance to be quickly struck.
