Ultrasonic algae control solution for mining industry - Mining
The mining industry relies on water. Water is used extensively in mining and mineral processing and refining. Tailings dams are used to store byproducts of mining operations after separating ore. Tailings dams provide optimal conditions for algae to bloom with their stagnant and nutrient-rich water, causing filter clogging and foul odors. Algae can also interrupt mining operations by clogging filters. Resulting in increased chemical usage and maintenance.
- Lower chemical expenses
- Improve operations of filters and pipes
- Prevent toxic algal blooms
- Reduce pH and TSS levels
- Improve mining operations
- Comply with environmental regulations
Tailings dams pose an environmental risk since they contain heavy metals, chemicals, and rock particles. Real-time water quality monitoring capabilities from MPC-Buoy allows mining sites to monitor their water quality at 15-minute intervals. This way operators can be alerted when critical values are reached for specific water and algae parameters. Algae growth can increase TSS and pH levels. Leading to potential fines when the water needs to be discharged.
Our chemical-free technology provides a sustainable solution for mining operations to achieve environmental compliance, reduce OPEX, and prevent operational interruptions.
- Reduce pH and TSS
- Improve mining operations
- Achieve environmental compliance
