On-Site Water and Wastewater Treatment for Mining Camps

In a water-intensive industry, water reuse and desalination can provide a steady supply of potable and nonpotable water, and help you meet discharge regulations

Mining is a particularly water-intensive industry. Water is needed for processing, extraction, slurry transportation, worker needs, and more. After it's used, the polluted wastewater must be treated to a certain standard before being discharged into the environment, according to regulations like the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) in the United States.

Water reuse and desalination can be used to provide a steady supply of process water for your mining operations, taking pressure off of existing freshwater resources.

Fluence’s containerized water and wastewater treatment solutions for workforce housing can help you meet this challenge. They're quick and easy to deploy, and can be scaled to meet demand with the addition or removal of units. Operations can be monitored remotely to minimize labor needs. And they're designed with maximum efficiency in mind.

Modular Water Solutions for Workforce Housing

Fluence can provide treatment for the full water cycle so worker housing no longer has to rely on local infrastructure. Modular units, which are packaged in standard shipping containers, are quick and easy to deploy, and can be used in tandem to extend capacity.

Benefits of Fluence Solutions for Mining Camps

Fluence decentralized treatment solutions offer a wide range of benefits for mining camps, including:

Effective

Aspiral™ uses MABR technology, which performs simultaneous nitrification-denitrification for nutrient removal that meets California's Title 22 and China's Class 1A and IV standards. The effluent is suitable for irrigation, dust control, and release into the environment. NIROBOX™ contains state-of-the-art desalination technology in a compact package, efficiently producing drinking water from saline, brackish, or fresh source water.

Sustainable

Fluence's MABR modules use low-pressure passive aeration, which reduces energy used for aeration by up to 90%. This low energy consumption allows for decentralized treatment off the power grid. And NIROBOX™ units incorporate the most energy-efficient components available.

Neighbor-Friendly

Aspiral™ and NIROBOX™ operate on a small footprint and won’t disrupt the surrounding community with noise or odor. Both solutions create alternate sources of fresh water, reducing competition with nearby communities for existing resources.

Portable

Fluence's Smart Packaged units are built in standard shipping containers for fast deployment and commissioning. When modular housing is moved, water and wastewater treatment can easily be relocated along with it.

Flexible and Scalable

NIROBOX™ and Aspiral™ units are available in a number of sizes and can be used in tandem to increase capacity. If needs change, units can easily be redeployed or sold.

Efficient and Cost-Effective

Both NIROBOX™ and Aspiral™ plants bring treatment to the point of use to eliminate the need to lay extensive pipe networks.

Wastewater Treatment with Aspiral™

Fluence Aspiral™ plants use ultra-efficient MABR technology for effective wastewater treatment. Aspiral™ produces an effluent suitable for irrigation, flushing toilets, and other "purple pipe" applications.
