Water | Meliadine Mine case study

Agnico Eagle urgently required a water management solution that could support the Meliadine Mine’s water balance control as well as manage the excess brine generated by Meliadine’s Reverse Osmosis (RO) plant, all whilst working with the site’s limited storage space for brine.

Minetek was able to successfully work with Meliadine Mine to scope, design and manufacture a 5 x 400/200 Stainless Steel Mechanical Evaporation solution with a total system capacity to process 2000 GPM (450m3/hour) of wastewater, reducing the
volume of brine wastewater by a significant volume per year.
