Mining

Mining operations consume water at every stage of production — drilling, blasting, ore processing, dust suppression, and camp supply for workers in remote locations. The source water is rarely clean. Mine sites often draw from brackish groundwater reservoirs, surface water with high turbidity and mineral content, or recycled process water carrying heavy metals, suspended solids, and industrial chemicals. Treatment requirements vary by the end use, but none of them tolerate unprocessed source water.

AMPAC USA has supplied water treatment systems to mining operations on six continents, including some of the largest copper and gold mining sites in the world. At remote sites without reliable access to municipal water, AMPAC watermakers and brackish water reverse osmosis systems serve as the primary fresh water supply for camp operations, process water, and equipment washing. Systems are designed for operation by non-specialist personnel, with automated controls that handle routine adjustments without constant operator attention.

Process water for mineral extraction and ore beneficiation requires specific quality standards that vary by mineral type and process chemistry. Froth flotation operations require water with controlled pH and low dissolved salts. Electrowinning for copper and precious metals requires low-TDS process water to control current efficiency and product purity. AMPAC designs process water treatment to match the specific mineral processing chemistry in use at each operation.

Wastewater from mine tailings and process drainage carries heavy metals, sulfates, and suspended solids that require treatment before discharge or reuse. AMPAC designs mine wastewater treatment systems including sedimentation, pH neutralization, heavy metal precipitation, and membrane filtration for reclaim water reuse. Where discharge to surface water requires permit compliance, AMPAC provides systems engineered to the applicable discharge limits.
