eMalahleni Water Reclamation Plant

Aveng Water was awarded the project at eMalahleni to design, construct and commission a 20,000 m3 day plant to treat acidic, saline mine water. Since its commissioning in 2007, the plant has been upgraded to treat an average of 25,000 m3 day for BHP Billiton/Anglo American Thermal Coal and has consistently produced high quality potable water at a ...

Optimium Coal Water Reclamation Plant, South Africa

The project was initiated in October 2008 and is designed to treat 15,000m3/day with a peak capacity of 18,500m3/day. this plant treats water with a 99% water recovery, most of which is utilised by the local Hendrina municipality, with the excess being discharged into the Klein Olifants river. Pure gypsum sludge from this plant is also available fo...

Kromdraai Mobile Acid Mine drainage Treatment Plant, South Africa

Anglo American Thermal Coal’s Kromdraai opencast operations require a net dewatering rate of up to 10,000m3 day to continue mining and to meet environmental obligations. While the long-term plan is to treat this water at emalahleni, a short-term solution was required at the south Block operation. The water is typical acid mine drainage, conta...
