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.
Versatile evaporator applications
Explore a multitude of uses for Minetek's evaporator technology, from pit dewatering to zero liquid discharge solutions. Our innovative systems address water management needs across diverse industries, including tailings dams, mine closure, emergency response, acid water management, and more. With adaptable designs, they mitigate dam risks and suit any industrial organisation that manages wastewater.
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 atomizing 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 energized and automated evaporation system. Minetek is also able to provide commissioning & training.
How it works
Minetek's evaporators enhance natural evaporation to effectively process and produce water. Our patented designed evaporators fracture liquid into atomised droplets, elevating them into the atmosphere.
Minetek’s evaporators are 5x 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 5 x 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.
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.
