ACID MINE DRAINAGE

Now there is a new affordable way to treat the majority of mine drainage issues without using expensive and environmentally unfriendly chemicals. 

Although chemists have known for decades that oxidation is the most natural and least expensive way to precipitate iron from mine drainage effluent, manganese has always been more difficult.  Chemists also knew that an effective method would be to use ozone to do the work, but ozone was always too expensive compared to caustic and lime.

Technology improvements have come through again….ozone is now affordable!

Our proven, cost-effective method, is now available.  Although every effluent is unique, we’ve tested many sites and have been effective at every one of them.

Many people think that using ozone will lower the pH of the effluent.  Ozone will not drop the pH of the water and will actually raise the pH if the effluent has alkalinity. 

Some people think that using ozone is expensive.  New technology has greatly reduced the cost and has proven to be less expensive than caustic soda.

Many people think that using ozone is dangerous.  Ozone is manufactured on site and directly placed into the water.  Safety precautions are always put in place that would reduce the chance of accidents to less than that of storing and handling chemicals.

Is your company required to have a high bond amount for your effluent?  If you don’t use chemicals, your bond amount could be dropped three-fold!

Within days, we can determine if we can help your company make the switch from chemicals to ozone.  And the best thing…..it’s free.
