Water Treatment Separation

Site and purpose selected chemical treatment programs for water quality total site balance management.

Optimal water quality management and total site balance

Water treatment separation is a cornerstone of sustainable mining practices, enabling operations to meet stringent environmental regulations while maximizing operational efficiency. At H&L Services, we recognize the pivotal role that water plays in mining processes and the necessity of implementing purpose-selected chemical treatments to achieve desired outcomes.

Your chemical partner must understand the critical importance of effective water treatment separation, specific to the unique needs of the Basin. It’s why H&L’s tailored chemical treatment programs are designed to address the unique challenges faced by mining operations, ensuring optimal water quality management and total site balance.

Benefits of water treatment separation solutions

Improved water quality

Our tailored chemical treatment programs effectively remove impurities and contaminants from water sources, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and safeguarding environmental integrity.

Enhanced operational efficiency

With improved water quality and total site balance, mining and aggregate operations can experience enhanced operational efficiency, leading to increased productivity and profitability.

Cost-effectiveness

Our solutions are designed to maximize operational efficiency and minimize waste, resulting in cost savings for our clients over the long term.

Environmental compliance

Our chemical treatment programs are developed with a focus on sustainability, helping clients meet and exceed environmental compliance requirements.

Chemical treatment programs, tailored to you

We understand that one size does not fit all. That’s why we offer tailored chemical treatment programs, specifically designed to address the unique requirements and challenges of each mining and aggregate operation.

Our team of experts works closely with clients to assess their needs, analyze site conditions, and develop customized solutions that optimize water treatment processes. Whether it’s addressing specific contaminants, improving filtration efficiency, or enhancing sedimentation rates, our tailored programs are engineered to deliver results.

Thickener treatment programs

One, two, and three product programs
A. Flocculant: Site and ore selected polymers to maximize long chain collection of suspended solids within the plant slurry refuse. Specific site variables such as shearing, particle interaction zones, and vessel hydraulic loading balances.
B. Coagulant: Site and water chemistry selected MW and charge demand coagulant for neutralization of swollen fine particles that interfere with solids density increase and impair settling rates.

C. Turbidity Aid: Products designed to target free turbidity returning to process and liberation of bound clay/humate particles attached to sand.

Underflow treatment programs

Two product programs
A. Pond Treatment: High shear resistant polymer product with variable inversion requirements designed to be implemented within customer infrastructure. Flow, density, and variable drive system with cellular data information available for remote operation and system optimization.
B. Water Release: Rapid release and rheology stacking aid designed to variably interact with the solids of a slurry to create free return water release and void space reduction of a discharge area.

Product enhanced watershed programs

One product program

A. DW Aid/Process Flow Aid: Custom multi component product selected by water chemistry and particle ore surface stresses. Applied rates are enhanced with controls and equipment systems for optimally selected location of injection application.

Achieving total site balance management

Achieving total site balance is essential for the sustainable operation of mining and aggregate facilities. With H&L Services’ Water Treatment Separation Solutions, clients can maintain equilibrium across their entire operation, ensuring that water quality, production processes, and environmental impact are carefully managed and optimized. 

Our holistic approach to site balance management considers factors such as water usage, waste generation, and regulatory compliance, providing clients with comprehensive solutions that promote long-term viability.
