Brief
Our client engaged Minetek to develop and deploy an effective solution for saline water removal at their coal mine in New South Wales, Australia. The aim was to manage the accumulation of saline water efficiently to maintain operational continuity and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
Challenge
This mine faced the persistent issue of managing saline water, which can impede mining operations and pose environmental risks. Without an efficient removal system, the accumulation of saline water could lead to operational delays, increased costs, and potential breaches of environmental standards. Our client needed a robust solution that could handle the high volume of saline water while ensuring sustainability and regulatory compliance.
Solution
Minetek supplied a Water Evaporation System Package with two powerful water evaporators tailored to the specific needs of the mine. These systems, with a combined volume throughput of 90 m³/hour (400 GPM), effectively managed the saline water, significantly reducing its accumulation. The advanced evaporation technology provided a reliable and efficient solution, ensuring uninterrupted mining operations and compliance with environmental regulations. Minetek’s evaporation systems not only enhanced operational efficiency but also supported our client’s commitment to sustainable and responsible mining practices. The successful implementation at the coal mine underscores Minetek’s capability in delivering customised and effective water management solutions in challenging mining environments.
