At Miwatek, we believe that a holistic view of your site’s water requirements and challenges is necessary to define the best approach to your specific situation. Our approach consists of more than supplying equipment and technology but rather assessing and addressing your water challenges site-wide.

Holistic water
treatment approach

We cover the entire value chain of impacted mine water treatment. From the selection of the appropriate size and technology of the MWTP through to operations and maintenance of these facilities.

Technologically
unbiased solutions

We are technologically agnostic. Many of our competitors have a vested interest in selling a particular technology or chemical. We have no such interests and simply aim to give the client the optimum solution.

Best solution
for your needs

Our strong and highly skilled technical department allows us to optimise the operations of the plants, based on their specific needs, thereby minimising operational expenses.

Solutions The Miwatek Way

Our Approach

Early identification of potential water balance issues saves capital and operating costs in the long run. We’ve seen many instances where earlier intervention resulted in smaller water treatment plants. We, therefore, prefer to be engaged early in the project lifetime, where we work with the water balance modeller to determine the most appropriate time and size of the treatment facility.

 

We have designed a number of impacted mine water treatment plants locally and internationally. With each one, we carefully evaluated the required technology and size to optimise Opex and Capex over the life of the facility.

Treatment Miwatek Solutions

Engineering and Design

Consisting of pre-feasibility, feasibility, execution and maintenance, we provide custom engineering and design solutions based on the facility’s specific requirements. Our solutions are not only customisable but also deployable in a short time, ensuring the majority of a mine’s challenges are addressed timeously.

Operations Miwatek Solutions

Operations and Maintenance

Many solutions are only viable for the short-term and then fail due to a lack of technical understanding. At Miwatek, we know that selecting and implementing the appropriate solution is only part of the mine water problem. It also requires operation and maintenance to ensure the successful treatment of mine water.
