The Mining market

Mining activities often generate high volumes of water with a wide range of contaminants, such as high levels of suspended solids and heavy metals. Other pollutants may also be present, depending on the specific mining operation. Proper water treatment is required to ensure compliance with regulations, allowing water to be recycled and reused within the mining industry. This contributes to protecting the local ecosystem and promoting sustainable mining practices. Swedish Hydro Solutions' treatment processes and use of biodegradable flocculants ensure that mining industries can effectively treat and reuse water within their projects.

Thanks to the water treatment plant, we have maintained a healthy work environment while simultaneously conducting work continuously.

HydroBox

The solution for your market

In response to the unique challenges within the mining industry, Swedish Hydro Solutions water treatment solutions excel in both separation efficiency and adaptability to varying sizes. The versatile products can be installed either within the mine itself or on the surface. A key aspect of the approach is the emphasis on water reuse within the mining process after treatment, contributing to reducing reliance on external water sources.

The technologies

HydroBox

Features the patented dosing system along with the biodegradable flocculant, chitosan.

Sedimentation

Sedimentation tanks and lamella clarifiers for efficient settling and treatment of particles and particle-associated contaminants.

pH Adjustment

For optimal and effective processes, the pH value is automatically adjusted using the 'pH dosing unit'.

BioMedia® filtration

BioMedia® is the environmentally friendly filter media and is used to remove heavy metals and various dissolved organic compunds.

Physical Filtration

Removal of contaminations and particles from water through a physical barrier, enhancing clarity and eliminating suspended solids.

Sludge Treatment

Dewatering solutions for extracting water from sludge and often lead to significant economic advancements.

From start to finish

These are the steps when ordering a solution:

  • Step 1: Initiate contact, providing details regarding the project and the specific water treatment requirements.
  • Step 2: The project's documentation, investigations, and specified prerequisites are reviewed. If water samples are available, treatment tests are conducted in the laboratory.
  • Step 3: A well-dimensioned setup aligned with the project's objectives is proposed, emphasizing the attainment of predefined target values.
  • Step 4: The equipment is installed by the Swedish Hydro Solutions team. Throughout the installation phase, training on equipment operation is provided to the client. Regular visits are conducted to recalibrate instrumentation and supply necessary chemicals.
  • Step 5: Engagement spans the entire project lifecycle, encompassing planning, initiation, ongoing support, and eventual decommissioning.

Projects

Jernhusen, Region City

During a geotechnical field study for a city development project at Gothenburg Central Station, property manager Jernhusen needed a water treatment solution that were able to clean drilling water.
Vattenrening

Hagalund Tunneling Project

In order to test the same technology used by several West Link projects, the international construction company Implenia purchased an entire system, including professional services, from SHS.

Project Olskroken

Prior to the large infrastructure project, known as the West Link, Swedish Hydro Solutions method for water treatment using chitosan was evaluated at Olskroken.
