When a new mining company was planning on restarting operations at an existing gold mine in the Goldfields region of Western Australia, they contacted MAK Water to discuss water treatment options. They required potable quality water for both potable use at the accommodation camp and occasional process use.
The available saline bore water needed to be treated to potable quality and they required a simple, fully automated, robust design, using quality equipment to provide a reliable solution, all at a reasonable cost.
