Minerals and their products are important to every facet of our lives. They are used in manufacturing, construction, power generation and many other ways. Mining practices vary greatly according to the mineral produced and the value of the deposit. In the past, the mining of ores containing sulphide minerals has created acid mine and acid rock drainage.
Veolia Water has extensive project experience to provide complete turnkey services to the mining industry for treatment of acid mine and acid rock drainage. Our services are full-scope, ranging from environmental consulting, permitting and treatability studies to design-build-operate services. Our history in mining dates to the mid-1960s when the degradation of our natural watersheds became an important issue for communities.
We can provide technological solutions through our sister companies or through other technology companies to improve the effectiveness of mine drainage treatment systems. Our dense sludge technology, provided by Veolia Water Systems, provides reduced sludge generation and improved sludge management. Veolia Water Systems' Actiflo® is a state-of-the-art technology delivering high-rate particle settling and improved effluent quality clarification. Our approaches are proven to reduce treatment costs and solve problems associated with older, conventional treatment systems.
