Mining
Cominergy is a forerunner in mine water and wastewater treatment with a major focus on modular installations throughout Africa. Our process offerings include sewage treatment for mine camps, water reuse and resource recovery to potable, discharge or irrigation standards.
Effective Mining Turnkey Solutions
Cominergy package plants are well-suited for the mining environment with extended plant lifespans and ease of maintenance. Our cost-effective pre-engineered package plants are ideal for mine camp expansions and provide a holistic solution from potable water preparation through to wastewater treatment.
Additionally, run-off from old mine dams (and some recently mined and reclaimed surface mines) and accumulated acid mine drainage (AMD) generates contamination with serious environmental side effects. Treating AMD involves neutralising the acid and precipitating out ions. Cominergy has the expertise and technology to treat this water with solutions such as desalination, brine concentration and evaporation and crystallisation.
Water & Sewage Services in Mining
Cominergy offerings in the mining industry are aimed towards strengthening water security in predominantly arid areas by process water reuse, resource recovery, potable water production and sewage treatment to irrigation or discharge standards.
Resource Recovery
Resource recovery is a key step in process and profitability optimisation with reduced waste production and recycling of valuable commodities. These processes are highly sought after in the gold, platinum, uranium and copper mines throughout Africa and internationally.
With the current focus on refurbishment and re-opening of old mine shafts, Cominergy is perfectly positioned for dewatering of mine shafts and have recently produced an arsenic precipitation plant for a mine in Northern Africa which is dewatering heavily polluted pit water to reinstate profitable mining operations.
