Acid Mine/Rock Drainage
Acid mine drainage results from the outflow of acid rock drainage from metals and coal mines. We carefully treat water to achieve neutralization, remove total metals to levels safe for aquatic life and ensure sediment particles are removed to meet specified NTU discharge levels
Dewatering
Dewatering involves removing groundwater and surface water from construction sites, typically carried out before excavation or to lower the groundwater level on site
pH Adjustment
We utilize acidic or alkaline solutions to control pH levels, which affect the solubility of dissolved metal ions and impurities. This pH control allows for the removal of impurities via precipitation, ensuring compliance with environmental specifications and achieving neutral pH for safe discharge into the environment
Suspended and Dissolved Metals Recovered
Recovering valuable metals during fluid treatment processes supports product recovery and environmental compliance. Dissolved metal ions are removed via ion exchange or precipitation, increasing total suspended metals which are then separated through mechanical filtration
Hydrocarbon Removal
We specialize in separating hydrocarbons from water and process streams, protecting the environment from contamination, preventing process fouling and recovering valuable products. Hydrocarbon removal solutions are tailored to each application using media-based treatment systems, gravity separation or specialized recovery units.
Amine/Glycol Cleaning
Amine and glycol are essential solvents in process fluid treatment; amine absorbs acid gas and sulfur components, while glycol serves as a dehydration agent. Filtration is used to maintain solvent integrity by removing contaminates that accumulate due to fluid degradation, protecting equipment and preventing operational issues such as foaming, corrosion and fouling. A slipstream filtration system allows for continuous operation and prevents shutdowns for maintenance.
Filtration
Filtration is a mechanical separation process that removes suspended solid particulates from a liquid or gaseous mixture using a filter medium. The filter medium's complex structure, with a retention rating, allows fluid and smaller particulates to pass through. The filtration process enables product recovery of clarified fluid or captured solid particulates, protects downstream equipment and removes contaminants.
Solids Control
Solids control is used in drilling rigs, micro tunneling and other fluid-based industries. It involves separating “cuttings” (drilled material) from the fluid, enabling it to be recirculated, reused or safely discharged into the environment.
