Gold Mine Wash Water Treatment and Reuse, North-East of Kalgoorlie WA

Sector: Mining
Location: Kalgoorlie region, WA

Value-engineered 500 kL/day design removed a pond, avoided a second RO plant and delivered on time and budget in one 40 ft container.

Client: well known gold producer building a new mine under a major EPCM. OLEOLOGY was asked to value engineer the proposed non-process-infrastructure water design.

Duty: 500 kL/day at below 5 ppm hydrocarbon.

Outcome: the original design (sediment pond, dirty water pond, gravity separation, treated water pond, RO feed) was replaced with one dirty water pond feeding a MyCelx containerised plant discharging to two 50,000 L tanks for wash bay reuse, removing a pond and its pipework, avoiding a second RO plant, and eliminating chemical dosing, storage and handling. Delivered on time, on budget with no variations, no safety incidents, as one 40 ft container; dry filter waste only, at six-month intervals; PLC remote operation and diagnostics.

Coal Mine Wash Bay Decontamination Plant, NSW

15 kL/h containerised plant reduced TPH from up to 200 mg/L to below 10 ppm and TSS to below 15 mg/L for EPA-compliant discharge and dust suppression reuse.

Gold Mine Wash Bay Water Recycling, Rural WA

40 ft containerised plant at up to 30 m3/h reduced oil from 100+ ppm to 0 to 2 ppm and TSS from 500 to below 5 ppm for Department of Health reuse.

Refuelling, Workshop and Wash Bay Retrofit, Pilbara Iron Ore WA

MyCelx retrofit removed detergent-emulsified fuel that defeated a coalescing plate separator and an air-induction hydrocyclone, delivering below 10 ppm TPH at 2.5 times the CPS flow.
