Does your site require chemical addition? Our chemical selection is performed on a situation-specific basis employing bench scale tests using bulk water samples.
We are familiar with the challenges of working in places restricted by climate conditions, scarce resources, and accessibility.
In fact, we consider challenging sites in remote parts of Canada our niche.
Here is an example of just one logistical concern that you do not to have to concern yourself with:
We need flocculant, but what kind?
- Thinking Technically: How will the mine water chemistry impact flocculant performance? What equipment is required to deploy the flocculant.
- Thinking Labour: Who is going to supply and maintain the equipment? Are they qualified?
- Thinking Logistically: What is the cost to fly labour in? How do we transport the flocculant to site?
- Thinking Sustainability: How far does the flocculant have to travel? How do we optimize flocculant use to minimize costs and waste?
McCue has the answers you need in regards to mine water treatment and flocculant use.
