Mining Water Systems

Algae commonly develop in mining ponds, tailings storage facilities, and recycled process water systems due to prolonged water retention, sunlight exposure, and elevated nutrient levels. Excessive algae growth can block sensors, clog pipes, reduce water clarity, and promote biofouling on infrastructure. In some cases, algal blooms can also create odor issues and increase the risk of regulatory non-compliance, particularly in operations located near sensitive ecosystems. Traditional algae control methods often involve chemical treatments or frequent water replacement, both of which can be costly, labor-intensive, and environmentally risky in mining environments.

Sonicpure provides a chemical-free, non-contact solution for algae control using ultrasonic frequencies designed to inhibit algae growth at the cellular level. The technology helps prevent algae proliferation without affecting water chemistry, equipment integrity, or surrounding ecosystems. By reducing algae-related issues, Sonicpure supports improved water clarity, protects sensors and infrastructure, and enables higher rates of water reuse. This helps mining operations lower chemical usage, reduce maintenance downtime, and align with sustainability and environmental management goals. Sonicpure systems are suitable for a wide range of mining water applications, including process water ponds, tailings facilities, and reclaimed water reservoirs—offering a reliable and environmentally responsible approach to algae management in demanding industrial settings.
