SurfCleaner solutions for mine wastewater

REVOLUTIONISING OIL SURFACE SEPARATION ACROSS MINING

Managing oil-contaminated water in mining operations is necessary for regulatory compliance, environmental responsibility, and worker safety. However, conventional processes for treating oily wastewater are very costly and inefficient. Surfcleaner’s patented industrial oil-water separator substantially improves oily water management for mine operators – resulting in increased operating efficiency, reduced water treatment costs, a smaller impact on the environment.

Surfcleaner’s surface separator removes nearly 100% of diesel and oil from the water’s surface. With one efficient system, hydrocarbons are collected, separated from water, and discharged with <5% water content – making it an ideal solution for
mining wastewater treatment

The Surfcleaner unit replaces complicated, bulky systems made up of industrial oil skimmers, suction pumps, vacuum trucks, filters, chemicals, absorbents, and power packs with one compact, high-efficiency unit that continuously and automatically removes oil from water using very little power.

KEY FEATURES OF SURFCLEANER SURFACE SEPARATORS

Fully automatic and continuous removal of oil – including sheen – from the water’s surface

Reduces VOCs emitted in the air, improving both the air quality and the work environment

99.5% separation efficiency – reuse more process water at the site and reduce wastewater disposal

SCO 1000 portable oil-water surface separator

Remote controllable with no manual handling required on site

Captures data for sustainability reports, including the volume of oil collected, energy consumption, and the quantity of processed water

Exceptionally low energy consumption

LOW-MAINTENANCE, ENERGY-EFFICIENT SOLUTION FOR OILY WATER TREATMENT

Surfcleaner surface separators operate without manual intervention, either underground or at the surface. They use very little power and require low maintenance. Treated water is ready to be re-used in mining operations without any need for oil absorbents. Wastewater transportation, offsite treatment, and disposal are all reduced. This saves costs and reduces emissions.

Boliden adopts Surfcleaner for sustainable water management in its Aitik copper mine

“We use the Surfcleaner in our flotation treatment plant. We can reduce the amount of chemicals needed in the plant which is of value not only from a cost perspective, but also a direct benefit to the environment.”
