Acid Mine Drainage - Sulfate & Metals Treatment

WaterTectonics worked with strategic partners to pilot an innovative long-term cleanup approach for this closed mine operation in Montana. The remote sited produced year-round tailings that discharged to a sensitive creek. WaterTectonics deployed a treatment training utilizing CleanWave electrocoagulation followed by ultrafiltration and exceeded all project effluent goals at a reduced cost per gallon and with less sludge.
