Tailings Water Management

Minetek’s evaporation solutions are proven to safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively manage Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) water levels.

Reduce risks associated with tailings storage facilities

With an estimated 3,500 tailings storage facilities around the world, the need for effective tailings water management is clear and present. On average, 3 of these tailings dams fail each year with incidents over the last 15 years on the rise. Although the current failure rate represents a small percentage of the overall number of dams, these occurrences can lead to significant environmental impacts.

Implementing a water evaporation system designed to lower tailings dam water levels, and ensure compliance with global standards can mitigate the safety, environmental, and commercial risks of tailings dams. Minetek’s water management solutions are automated and designed for all TSF applications, including upstream, downstream, and midstream sites.

Cost savings

Significantly reduce operational costs by minimising the need for off-site disposal and water treatment costs.

 

Environmental responsibility

Minimise your environmental impact by eliminating the need for traditional liquid waste disposal methods and reducing the risk of excess water storage.

Mobile & scalable solution

Our systems can adapt to the evolving needs of your oil & gas operations, ensuring they remain effective as you grow.

Regulatory compliance

Minetek helps you navigate and exceed stringent environmental regulations, ensuring your activities remain compliant.

Reduce tailings water levels

Minetek’s evaporation technology is a cost-effective standalone solution to reducing TSF water levels. Our units can process varying water qualities, including solids up to 4.0mm in diameter and caustic with a pH level ranging from 1.8 to 14+. Two 600/300 Minetek Evaporators can quickly evaporate an Olympic-sized pool in just 24 hours (depending on the climate), significantly reducing tailings storage facility water levels and associated risks.

Tailings resource recovery

Minetek’s water solutions offer more than just efficient water management for tailings dams; they provide opportunities for resource recovery. Our enhanced evaporation technology enables the extraction of valuable resources from tailings water, turning waste into opportunity. Through innovative processes, we help mining operations maximise their returns while minimising environmental impact, ensuring sustainable management of tailings dams for a brighter future.
