Retrofit Replacing a Non-Compliant Hydrocyclone, Pilbara Iron Ore WA

Sector: Mining
Location: Pilbara, WA

10 kL/h automated wash bay recycling plant replaced a failed hydrocyclone: TSS from above 395 to below 10 mg/L, TPH below 15 ppm, remote monitored.

Client: multinational iron ore miner.

Problem: the existing hydrocyclone was not producing water fit for reuse; fine solids blocked dust suppression nozzles and hydrocarbons exceeded discharge limits.

Duty: 10 kL/h HV wash bay water for dust suppression, TSS above 395 mg/L, emulsified hydrocarbons.

Plant: staged oil and heavy solids removal followed by MyCelx polishing, fully automatic, with remote monitoring and integration with each facility drawing from the plant.

Results: TPH below 15 ppm, oil droplets below 1 micron removed, TSS below 10 mg/L; potable water use down, running costs down, compliance risk down.

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.
