Mining
Industry Problem
-
Acid Mine Drainage:
-
Water Contamination: acidic water and metal ions increase water toxicity and negatively effects the aquatic life and food chain
-
Disturbs the reproduction system of aquatic life and may decrease their population
-
Causes corrosion of local infrastructure
-
Conventional Treatment Solutions:
-
Inconsistent output quality – compromises environmental discharge
-
Residual, high cost waste streams
-
No recovery of valuable salts / metals
H2O Solution
-
Outputs a High-Purity Water Quality with Selected Salt Recovery
-
Recovery of salts offers major offsetting income
-
Capable of handling a wide feed water variable to generate a consistent output
-
Chemically resistant membranes (pH 0-14)
-
Small system footprint with Low lifecycle cost – low power & long-life components
-
Significant volume reduction of waste streams - Zero Liquid Discharge option
-
Reduced disposal costs
