Mine Water Solutions: Reduce Treatment Without Overbuilding
Our mine water solutions reduce volumes on site and stay ahead of regulatory demands without relying on deep well injection or trucking.
Challenges in Mine Water Management
Mining operations often grapple with managing large volumes of wastewater, which can contain high levels of total dissolved solids (TDS) and other contaminants.
Traditional methods like deep well injection and hauling are not only costly but also pose environmental and regulatory challenges.
EvaporationWorks’ patented systems are built for the demands of mine water, with each atomizer operating at a flow rate of 12–20 gallons per minute. When integrated with aeration and bioremediation, contaminants are reduced before they concentrate, which lowers maintenance requirements and helps with regulatory compliance.
Why Mining Operators Choose EvaporationWorks
- Purpose-Built Design: Handles wastewater with TDS levels exceeding 200,000 mg/L—no pre-treatment required.
- Proven Track Record: Used in mining operations across the U.S. with over 12 years of field-tested reliability in high-solids applications.
- Low Maintenance: Corrosion-resistant construction designed for remote, harsh environments.
- Performs in Low pH Environment: Designed for acidic wastewater.

What Our Clients Say
Compare EvaporationWorks
| Feature | EvaporationWorks | Typical Industrial Evaporators |
|---|---|---|
| Designed for Mining Wastewater | Purpose-built for high TDS, metals, and fluctuating chemistry | Often retrofitted from general-purpose wastewater systems |
| Automation & Weather Response | Adjusts in real time to wind, temperature, and humidity | Fixed-speed systems with limited or manual control |
| Performance in Harsh Environments | Built for remote, high-dust, corrosive conditions | May require add-ons to operate reliably in mining sites |
| Maintenance Requirements | Minimal—few moving parts and corrosion-resistant components | Higher maintenance due to fouling and wear |
| Compliance Readiness | Zero-discharge capable and aligned with mine permitting needs | Varies—often requires site-specific modifications |
| Scalability | Modular and easy to expand across ponds or tailings areas | Expansion often needs redesigns or additional engineering |
| Droplet Optimization | Variable-speed atomizer maximizes evaporation in changing weather | Fixed droplet output—not optimized for environmental shifts |
| Long-Term Operating Cost | Lower costs from reduced hauling, labor, and energy | Higher lifecycle costs due to inefficiency and upkeep |
