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.

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.

Wastewater Treatment Services

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. With the increasing demand for sustainable practices, companies that fail to modernize their water treatment and disposal methods risk facing costly legal challenges. Keeping excess water under control also remains a key challenge, especially in tailings dams and storage ponds. In regions with unpredictable climate conditions or excessive rainfall, storing excess water can be unsafe and expensive, and you might violate regulations if it's not handled properly. Ineffective disposal methods make water management more expensive and resource-intensive. Minetek understands these risks and provides innovative solutions that help ensure compliance and operational efficiency. Designed for rapid and sustainable wastewater evaporation to comply with top environmental standards, our mechanical water evaporation solutions are the most efficient and biggest range of systems. When you choose Minetek over the endless searches for "Wastewater Treatment Services," 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. 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. 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 "Wastewater Treatment Us" and "Water And Waste Water Treatment Pdf."

Minetek provides solutions that cater to different industries and organizations dealing with water management. Whether you need brine and saline water disposal, acid water management or dam risk mitigation, our solutions are engineered to evaporate water at the source. Plus, getting started with us is straightforward. First, we assess your site conditions, considering factors like water volume, TDS/TSS levels and regulations to suggest the ideal system. From there, our technical team builds a custom solution, whether that involves land-based evaporators or floating units and whether or not you require our full EMS. We ensure that every system meets your operational needs by considering voltage requirements, vertical and horizontal discharge angles and safety platforms. With fast and efficient installation, your site experiences minimal disruption and can return to full operation promptly. With Minetek, you take control of your water management without the need to look up "Water Management Plan" or "Water Technology Services." You don't have to repeatedly search for "water evaporator" and "evaporation systems," as our team is ready to discuss your next project.
