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.

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.
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.
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.
Water Management And Conservation
With agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state-level bodies tightening environmental regulations, industrial and mining operations can no longer afford to overlook compliance. Even small oversights in water management can lead to fines or shutdowns. Businesses that neglect to modernize their water treatment and disposal systems as sustainable practices gain traction may end up dealing with pricey legal challenges. Managing excess water, particularly in tailings dams and storage ponds, also remains one of the most critical challenges. When dealing with areas that experience unpredictable climate conditions or heavy rainfall, keeping large amounts of water on-site can become a costly and hazardous issue, risking regulatory violations if not properly controlled. When water isn't disposed of efficiently, costs increase and valuable resources are depleted. Minetek understands these risks and provides innovative solutions that help ensure compliance and operational efficiency. We offer the largest and most efficient mechanical water evaporation systems, built to remove wastewater quickly and sustainably while ensuring compliance with the highest environmental regulations. When you choose Minetek over the endless searches for "Water Management And Conservation," 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.
With a foundation in cutting-edge engineering principles, Minetek's water evaporation systems provide efficient and flexible solutions for water management. 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. For better water management, Minetek's Environmental Management System (EMS) integrates seamlessly with both land-based and floating units. With real-time tracking of conditions like humidity, wind and rainfall, the EMS adjusts water flow, pressure and schedules automatically to maintain efficiency. Pairing our evaporation technology with the EMS creates a flexible and complete solution that adjusts to shifting 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 "Water Management Group" and "Water Management In Organic Farming."
Minetek's solutions support a broad range of industries and organizations involved in water management. Our solutions handle brine and saline water disposal, acid water management and dam risk mitigation by evaporating water directly at its source. Additionally, working with us is a simple process. Our team evaluates water volume, TDS/TSS levels and regulatory factors at your site to recommend the ideal system. Next, our technical team develops a tailored system, which may include land-based or floating evaporators and optional full EMS integration. Our designs align with your site's requirements, factoring in voltage specifications, safety platforms, and vertical and horizontal discharge angles. 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 "Advanced Wastewater Technology" or "Mine Dewatering." You don't have to repeatedly search for "water treatment process" and "water evaporation," as our team is ready to discuss your next project.
