Protect the Environment and Efficiency
For mining and open-pit mining, Hach® is more than just a provider of world-class mining water measurement tools and testing solutions. We are a trusted partner for metals and mining that can help you identify site specific needs for mine discharge, adapt to constantly changing regulations and situations, and stay efficient while you minimize the environmental impact of mining.
Since we began in 1947, we’ve been the go-to experts for water quality monitoring and analysis. From mining source water analysis to mine reuse water testing and mine discharge water compliance, we can provide the measurement tools and test kits to ensure accurate and timely readings. At the same time, we back our equipment with expertise. Our team of metals and mining water experts are on call to support your team.
We bring specific, time-tested solutions to monitor, analyze, and ultimately control critical contaminants and water hardness throughout the life cycle of water in your mining operation—from de-watering to discharge.
Featured Applications for the Metals and Mining Industry
De-Watering
The process of open-cast or quarry de-watering requires diagnostic tools you can rely on to test for metals and chemicals in water as well as pH, TSS, turbidity levels and more before being reintroduced to the environment. Trust the expertise and the tools of Hach to get the job done.
Water Treatment for Reuse
Maximize yield from hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical processes by monitoring the presence of heavy metals and chemical aids such as cyanide in reuse water in dust control, waste dumps, slurry pipelines, etc.
Water treatment for discharge
Whether you are de-watering or treating water used for slurry sampling or machine washing for discharge, close and accurate monitoring of mining wastewater is paramount to ensuring compliance. Hach offers monitoring tools that give you data you can rely on, even under changing circumstances like storms, accidents, and runoff.
