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.

Mine Water Treatment

As regulatory pressures continue to rise and agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state-level bodies impose stricter guidelines, staying compliant with environmental standards is no longer optional for industrial and mining operations. 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. Storing large amounts of water in areas that experience heavy rainfall or have fluctuating climate patterns can be both expensive and hazardous, increasing the risk of regulatory violations if not handled properly. Inefficient water disposal methods only exacerbate the problem, draining resources and escalating costs. Minetek understands these risks and provides innovative solutions that help ensure compliance and operational efficiency. We offer the largest and most efficient mechanical water evaporation systems, built to remove wastewater quickly and sustainably while ensuring compliance with the highest environmental regulations. When you choose Minetek over the endless searches for "Mine Water Treatment," 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.

Designed based on advanced engineering principles, Minetek's water evaporation solutions offer both reliability and adaptability in addressing water management issues. 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. Set on a heavy-duty pontoon system and equipped with an integrated electric motor and a submersible pump, it effectively processes significant volumes of water while adhering to strict environmental standards thanks to mechanically accelerated evaporation. For better water management, Minetek's Environmental Management System (EMS) integrates seamlessly with both land-based and floating units. The EMS allows you to monitor real-time environmental conditions such as humidity, wind and rainfall, automatically adjusting parameters like water flow and pressure as well as operational schedules to optimize efficiency. When you combine the EMS with our evaporation technology, you get a scalable and responsive water management solution for 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 "Water Treatment For Mining" and "Mine Water Treatment Technologies."

Minetek's solutions support a broad range of industries and organizations involved in water management. For brine and saline water disposal, acid water management or dam risk mitigation, our systems efficiently evaporate water where it accumulates. What's more, partnering with us is hassle-free from the start. We start by analyzing your site's conditions, including volume of water, TDS/TSS levels and compliance requirements, to provide the ideal solution. Depending on your site's needs, our team creates a system with land-based or floating evaporators, with full EMS integration as an option. Every system is designed to match your operational setup, taking into consideration factors such as vertical and horizontal discharge angles, safety platforms and voltage requirements. We ensure a quick and efficient installation process, reducing downtime and keeping your operations running. With Minetek, you take control of your water management without the need to look up "Industrial Waste Management System" or "Water And Waste Management." You don't have to repeatedly search for "wastewater management process" and "acid mine drainage," as our team is ready to discuss your next project.
