Indonesian Minetek Evaporation System Package assists WA Alumina Refinery with residue disposal
Minetek Water partnered with an alumina refinery in Western Australia to deliver an advanced residue disposal solution tailored to the facility’s specific water management needs. The project involved the deployment of a 15 x Floating Water Evaporator System Package to manage and reduce excess water in the residue storage areas efficiently. With a total volume throughput of 648 cubic meters per hour (2,850 gallons per minute), this solution provided a reliable and effective method for reducing water accumulation, supporting safe operations, and ensuring environmental compliance. This case study examines how Minetek’s innovative evaporation technology helped the refinery achieve its residue management goals while maintaining sustainable and compliant practices.

Breve
This alumina refinery in Western Australia faced challenges related to managing water levels in its residue disposal areas. To mitigate the risks associated with excess water impacting the stability and safety of residue storage, the facility needed a robust and efficient evaporation solution to effectively manage water levels and maintain compliance with environmental regulations.
Sfida
Failing to control water accumulation in the residue disposal areas posed several risks, including potential breaches of environmental regulations, structural instability, and operational disruptions. These challenges could result in significant fines, environmental damage, and costly downtime. Effective water management was crucial to ensuring safe and continuous operations at the refinery.
Soluzione
Minetek Water deployed a 15 xFloating Water Evaporator System Package across the residue disposal areas of the refinery, providing a high-capacity evaporation solution. With a combined volume throughput of 648 cubic meters per hour (2,850 gallons per minute), these systems effectively reduced excess water levels, supporting safe storage conditions and continuous operations. This solution enabled the refinery to manage water efficiently, minimise environmental risks, and ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable and responsible operations.
