Mining had taken a huge knock until Australian and Kiwi wastewater treatment plants were redesigned with a few important things in mind. These things are quality, sustainability, the environment, cost and efficiency. We mentioned efficiency last, but a wastewater treatment system needs to be efficient first and foremost. But efficiency alone is not enough anymore. Let’s take a look at the priorities, after efficiency, that have had to come into play.
Wastewater treatment and the environment
Wastewater treatment facilities or wastewater treatment plants and pumps, actually the entire wastewater treatment system, needs to be environmentally friendly. There can be no waste of water anymore. Water must be recycled. Water must be provided to the community. And every precious drop of water must be saved. If anything, a mine should bring MORE water to an area, rather than draining an area of water.
Water must be treated and recycled sustainably. This is where technology comes into being, and Australian and Kiwi water treatment systems are incredible They have incredible teams of engineers, and these engineers are all about sustainability. And efficiency, quality and cost.
And this brings us to cost. A wastewater treatment system, by its very nature, is going to be expensive. It has to be, it has an important role to play, it has to be more than durable and it has to be able to sustain all kinds of materials, weather conditions and distances. The cost of a wastewater system, even using the latest technology is high. The good news is that it will pay for itself quickly, with the good results it brings.
There is something to be said about Australian and Kiwi wastewater treatment. These specialists work globally and work with mines and projects of all sizes. Take a look.
