As mining sites continue to expand into remote locations, developers are faced with the challenge of minimizing the impact of large runoff streams and metals-laden wastewater. To address these challenges, ChemREADY’s integrated water and wastewater treatment systems for Metals Recovery and Non-Metals offer closed loop processes, removes the silt and minimizes the cost of hauling waste sludge and costly retention ponds. Integrated mechanical and chemical solutions engineered to your process eliminates site risks and improves the overall marketability of your product!
Wastewater treatment is essential for metals and non-metals recovery in mining, where runoff and metals-laden wastewater pose significant environmental challenges. ChemREADY offers integrated water and wastewater treatment systems designed to remove silt and reduce the costs associated with hauling waste sludge and maintaining retention ponds. Our closed-loop processes provide a comprehensive solution that improves the efficiency of your operation while addressing site risks.
Water plays a critical role in both ferrous and non-ferrous mining operations. In areas with heavy rainfall, water management is essential to prevent acid runoff from mine drainage and tailings, which can pollute nearby streams and rivers. In drier regions, mining operations consume large quantities of water, making water conservation and treatment essential. ChemREADY’s tailored mine water treatment solutions help companies reduce their environmental impact by offering cost-effective technologies that support industrial water use and wastewater treatment.
Tailings are slurries of water, silt, and gravel left over after valuable metals are extracted. To manage tailings, many mining operations invest in tailings dams, which are prone to failure and pose significant risks to both the environment and human safety. Upstream dams are especially vulnerable to collapse, making alternative solutions critical. ChemREADY offers mechanical filtration options that optimize tailings management without the risks associated with tailings dams.
ChemREADY provides a range of mechanical filtration systems for effective tailings management, including:
For superior tailings management, Matec filter presses offer pressures of 16 to 21 bar, handling the most challenging slurries. These advanced systems reduce chemical usage and maintenance costs while offering automatic washing, remote monitoring, and easy discharge for increased efficiency.
In addition to mechanical filtration, ChemREADY’s chemical products help remove metals, solids, and other contaminants from wastewater while restoring pH balance. Our range of products includes:
ChemREADY’s wastewater treatment systems help mining companies:
High performance, anionic flocculant based on a high molecular weight emulsion polyacrylamides scientifically formulated for use as a flocculant in effluent and wastewater treatment applications
Cationic flocculants used for large and small volume water treatment settle solids.
Our FlocREADY Non-Ionic Series has a nonionic charge, high molecular weight polyacrylamides in various forms such as free flowing granules, gel logs, emulsions and liquids.
Tailings dams, particularly upstream dams, are prone to failure, posing significant environmental and safety risks.
We provide a full suite of mechanical filtration options such as hydrocyclones, belt filters, and Matec high-pressure filter presses.
ChemREADY offers pH adjusters, coagulants, flocculants, water softeners, corrosion inhibitors, biocides, and more.
