Mining and Mineral Processing
Environmental Dewatering
TenCate Geotube® technology provides cost-effective and efficient dewatering and containment in the mining and mineral processing industry. In mining and mineral processing (mine tailings, coal sludge, etc), TenCate Geotube® dewatering technology enables the recovery of valuable materials, provides structural stability, improves water quality, or reduces storage footprint by sometimes 50 to 80%. Conditioners or polymers are normally used to promote flocculation to improve dewatering rates, solids retention, filtrate quality and increase in solids consolidation within the tubes.
Simple, Versatile TenCate Geotube® Dewatering Technology Is Ideal For:
- Pond and Lagoon Maintenance (polishing ponds)
- Tailings Management
- Water Resource Management (water reclamation and reuse)
- Beneficial Reuse (dyke and berm construction)
- Precious Metals Recovery
- Emergency and Disaster Management (uninterrupted mining operations)
- Acid Mine Drainage (for active or inactive mines)
- Specialty Applications
- Geosynthetics
