Maximum evaporation efficiency

Minetek can predict the efficiency of our evaporators in your specific operating climate with a site-specific analysis. Our modelling is based on specific data inputs such as humidity, rainfall, elevation, pan evaporation, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), and temperature. This enables us to understand the evaporation rates we can achieve over 12 months in any specific climate conditions across the globe.

Environmental Management System (EMS)

Monitor and respond to environmental condition changes like humidity, rain, and wind in real time with Minetek’s EMS. Communicating wirelessly via a remote controller, our adaptable EMS system is governed by a weather station that optimises operation according to a broad range of adjustable parameters, including optimum sun-up/ downtimes, relative wind speed and direction, humidity and temperature, system water flow, and pressure.

Proven success in the most challenging landscapes

From the cold of Alaska to the burning heat of the Sahara, Minetek’s water evaporation technology is utilised by regulatory authorities, governments and the world’s leading mining, oil & gas and industrial companies.

Our systems boast a broad range of volume capacity, operating in excess of 2,160 m3/hour, with low maintenance and 24/7 automated operation. Our environmentally sustainable solutions offer rapid deployment and proven performance in all climates, featuring unit angle adjusters, low-fowling stainless steel nozzles, stainless steel filter systems and the ability to process water with high TDS and TSS. Delivered and installed globally, our mobile and modular systems require minimal footprint and power, with a fully integrated Environmental Management System (EMS) that monitors and responds to changes in environmental conditions in real time.

High-pressure atomising stainless steel nozzles

Low fouling spiral water fracturing nozzles engineered to evaporate water with high TDS and TSS.

Broad range of volume capacity

Minetek’s evaporation systems operate and process in excess of 2,160 m3/hour and are not susceptible to changes in feed water quality.

24/7 automated system operation

Monitoring and responding to changes in environmental conditions in real-time using the Minetek Environment Management Solution (EMS) allows operators to stay ahead of the curve with fully automated operation.

Turnkey installation & commissioning

Minetek offer a total turnkey package solution for customers who prefer to have the entire project, designed, engineered and managed from start to finish. This includes an initial site assessment, through to a fully energised and automated evaporation system. Minetek is also able to provide commissioning & training.

How it works

Minetek’s evaporators enhance natural evaporation to effectively process produced water. Our patented designed evaporators fracture liquid into atomised droplets, elevating them into the atmosphere.

Evaporation technology

Minetek’s evaporators are 10X more cost effective than traditional water management solutions

Considering the CAPEX & OPEX costs mechanical evaporation in comparison to water treatment, sprinklers irrigators, new dam construction, water haulage and water pumping, Minetek’s mechanical evaporation solutions are 10X more cost effective.

Filter system reduces maintenance requirements

Minetek’s stainless steel filter system is adaptable to any setup and prevents nozzle ring blockages. Designed for seamless operation, it allows cleaning without system shutdown, complemented by automated alerts for maintenance, integrated into the EMS system.

Applications

Water management applications

Minetek's evaporators cater to a diverse array of industries involved in water management, including mining, oil & gas, municipal sectors, waste management, and industrial settings. Our versatile water management solutions can be seamlessly integrated across various industries and applications to effectively address water management challenges.

Liquid Waste Management

With agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state-level bodies tightening environmental regulations, industrial and mining operations can no longer afford to overlook compliance. Even small oversights in water management can lead to fines or shutdowns. The growing emphasis on sustainability means companies that don't update their water treatment and disposal processes could face expensive legal hurdles. Managing excess water, particularly in tailings dams and storage ponds, also remains one of the most critical challenges. In regions prone to heavy rainfall or have fluctuating climate patterns, storing large volumes of water can be dangerous and costly, with the added risk of violating regulations if not handled properly. Without efficient disposal, water management challenges grow, increasing operational costs and resource consumption. Minetek understands these risks and provides innovative solutions that help ensure compliance and operational efficiency. With the industry's most efficient and biggest system range, our mechanical water evaporation technology is engineered to handle wastewater quickly and sustainably while meeting top environmental standards. When you choose Minetek over the endless searches for "Liquid Waste Management," you're not only addressing water management challenges but also positioning your operation as a leader in environmental responsibility while significantly reducing costs and creating operational efficiency.

At Minetek, we've designed our water evaporation solutions to be both innovative and dependable, building upon cutting-edge engineering principles to help industries effectively manage water challenges. Our land-based water evaporator-powered by an electric motor and our globally patented technology-processes large quantities of water, even when there are high Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS). However, if your site won't allow for our land-based option, our floating water evaporator offers a reliable solution for managing excess water. Featuring a durable pontoon structure, an electric motor and a submersible pump, it efficiently handles large volumes of water while meeting compliance standards through mechanically assisted evaporation. Minetek's Environmental Management System (EMS) is designed to work effortlessly with both floating and land-based units, enhancing water management efficiency. The EMS ensures optimal efficiency by automatically adjusting water flow, pressure and scheduling in response to real-time environmental data such as humidity, wind and rainfall. The combination of our evaporation technology with the EMS allows you to gain a comprehensive, adaptable solution that responds to changing weather conditions. Minetek is here to offer the flexibility to meet your water management requirements, eliminating the need for you to rely on searches for "Management Of Solid And Liquid Waste" and "Evaporator Used."

A diverse set of industries and organizations managing water can benefit from Minetek's solutions. Our solutions handle brine and saline water disposal, acid water management and dam risk mitigation by evaporating water directly at its source. Additionally, working with us is a simple process. First, we assess your site conditions, considering factors like water volume, TDS/TSS levels and regulations to suggest the ideal system. Our experts then design a customized solution, incorporating land-based or floating evaporators with or without full EMS integration based on your needs. The system is configured to fit your site's setup, addressing voltage requirements, vertical and horizontal discharge angles and safety platforms. Our installation process is streamlined to minimize delays, allowing you to resume site operations quickly. With Minetek, you take control of your water management without the need to look up "Wastewater Treatment Services" or "Pit Dewatering." You don't have to repeatedly search for "water mismanagement" and "watershed management," as our team is ready to discuss your next project.
