Breve
Our client engaged Minetek to design and deploy an efficient solution for heap leach pad evaporation at their gold mine in Sonora, Mexico. The objective was to manage the water levels on the heap leach pad efficiently, ensuring uninterrupted mining operations and compliance with environmental regulations.
Sfida
La miniera ha dovuto affrontare sfide significative nella gestione degli elevati volumi di acqua accumulati sul pad di lisciviazione a cumulo. Senza una soluzione di evaporazione efficace, l'acqua rappresentava un rischio per l'efficienza operativa, la conformità ambientale e l'integrità del processo di lisciviazione. Gestire e ridurre adeguatamente i livelli d'acqua era essenziale per mantenere l'efficienza produttiva e rispettare i rigorosi standard ambientali. Il nostro cliente aveva bisogno di una soluzione affidabile e sostenibile per gestire l'ingente volume d'acqua sul cumulo di lisciviazione, garantendo al contempo la conformità alle normative e l'efficacia operativa.
Soluzione
Minetek supplied a Water Evaporation System Package with two water evaporators. This system, with a combined volume throughput of 90 m³/hour (400 GPM), effectively managed the water levels, significantly reducing water accumulation and facilitating proper disposal. The advanced evaporation technology provided a reliable and efficient solution, ensuring uninterrupted mining operations and compliance with environmental regulations. Minetek’s evaporation systems not only enhanced operational efficiency but also supported our client’s commitment to sustainable and responsible mining practices. The successful implementation at this gold mine demonstrates Minetek’s expertise in delivering tailored and effective water management solutions for complex mining environments.
