Aquamove - RO Mobile Units

> Actidisk™: Actiflo® followed by Discfilters is recommended in a new compact and efficient process to achieve clarification and filtration of high suspended solids water

Water is an essential component of every mining producer.

Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies specialises in potable water, process water and wastewater treatment solutions for all types of mining sites (gold, alumina, coal & coal seam gas, copper, zinc, iron, lead, phosphate & mineral sands). We provide specialised water systems, thanks to our understanding of the unique requirements of mine operations and our worldwide expertise of water challenges in mining.

We can propose tailor made water management systems, focusing on technical

performance, compliance with process and environmental requirements and long-term cost effectiveness, in order to fulfil the most demanding reliability, safety and quality

standards essential to the Mining industry.

Creating Water Solutions for the Mining Industry

Our innovative technologies and proven experience can help you meet those challenges:

> To improve productivity by treating water for production process requirements > To manage environmental risks by treating contaminated water or Coal Seam Gas water to achieve water quality suitable for reuse or for safe discharge into the environment> To add value to the bottom line by treating sludge streams to recover suspended and dissolved constituents> To secure high quality drinking water, even at remote mining sites > To have robust and reliable equipment requiring no unplanned maintenance> To cope with production peaks while complying with stringent regulations> To guarantee long-term efficiency and costs through operations services

We can provide:

> Treatment for groundwater, brackish water and seawater for producing high quality drinking water or process water

> Treatment of contaminated pond & underground mine water to remove heavy metals, arsenic & other contaminants for safe discharge, mineral recovery, or reuse

> Service, maintenance & chemical solutions, with our team of experts skilled at working on remote mining sites.

> Expertise in membranes, remote area service, including short response time.

> Activities and services certified to ISO 14001, ISO 9001 and AS/NZS 4801 by BSI Global.
