Legacy Mine Closure

Minetek has extensive experience supporting mining operators, government departments, and regulatory bodies in efficiently and cost-effectively managing water processes within legacy mine closures.

Mine & pit dewatering systems

An effective water management strategy is critical for mine closure in order to reduce their wastewater liabilities. Our evaporation technology has been utilized across sites all over Australia to successfully manage and reduce harmful acid water in all types of closure of mines, pits and legacy mine closures. Minetek’s automated and mobile technology also enables the remote management of processes in water quality analysis, even when there is limited staff on site. Our unmatched evaporator efficiency has enabled the acceleration of closure of mines; shortening timelines, reducing costs, and further mitigating wastewater management risks—all while ensuring compliance with relevant regulatory requirements.

Reduce legacy pit water levels

Minetek’s evaporation technology is a cost-effective standalone solution to reducing the water levels of legacy pits. 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+. With fully automated operation, our units can monitor and respond in real-time to changes in environmental conditions. Minetek’s self-sufficient evaporator skid systems are mobile for easy relocation, helping to minimize the environmental impact of mining whilst providing sustainable water management for a brighter future.
