Water treatment

Acid mine drainage & metals treatment

A site-specific treatment scope for pH correction and metals precipitation, based on water analysis, residual management and the applicable approvals.

Who this is for

Mine environmental managers, remediation engineers and closure teams

Your operating priority

Assess variable acidity and dissolved metals against treatment and discharge requirements.

Before you specify or buy

Provide flow, acidity, metal analyses and approval conditions. Evaluate pH response, precipitation and residuals management using representative tests.

What is covered

  • Review representative water analysis, acidity, dissolved metals and flow variation.
  • Scope pH correction and metals precipitation testing against the treatment objective.
  • Consider solids and residual management as part of the treatment train.
  • Dosing, monitoring and engineering support can be defined after characterisation.

What we will ask you

  • Water analysis and sampling history
  • Flow range, variability and treatment location
  • Discharge or reuse requirements and residual handling arrangements

Straight answers

Frequently asked questions

What should a mine provide before scoping acid mine drainage treatment?
Provide flow variability, acidity, pH, dissolved metal analyses and applicable treatment or discharge conditions. Representative tests inform chemical demand, precipitation and solids handling. Include sludge and residuals management in the assessment rather than treating pH correction as the complete solution.
Can you guarantee remediation?
No. Treatment suitability and outcomes depend on water characterisation, operating conditions, residual management and applicable approvals.
What is needed before selecting chemistry?
Representative analysis, flow and variability information, the treatment objective and residual-handling constraints are key starting points.
