Mining Solutions

This is the crucial sector to most economies and is highly dependent on water treatment technologies. Mining operations rely on large water quantities and an uninterrupted water supply.

Water re-use can significantly reduce costs and the mining sector faces strict legislation to minimise environmental degradation.

Acid mine water:

Acid mine water, containing toxic and sometimes radioactive chemicals, continues to be a problem in communities and is a serious compliance challenge for the mining industry. Thwalokuhle draws on its world class reverse osmosis and membrane separation products and technologies to treat acid mine water before it is discharged into the environment and we have successfully produced quality potable water from acid mine water. This does not only help mines comply with strict environmental regulations, but reduces their costs by providing them with a safe source of water for re-use and recycling.
