Chronic vs. Catastrophic Failures of TSF’: EcoVAP’s Value-Add for Either
Chronic vs. Catastrophic Failures of TSF’: EcoVAP’s Value-Add for Either
April 2, 2025
This Linked In article makes an important distinction between the much more visible “catastrophic” failures of Tailings Storage Facilities (“TSFs”) vs. the much more common “chronic” failures of seepage, leaks, erosion, etc., particularly of the inactive and abandoned TSFs. For either challenge, EcoVAP’s ability to inexpensively dewater the TSF can be a silver bullet. However, given the relatively easy disassembly and mobility of the Evaporative Matrices, EcoVAP is particularly suited for end-of-life closure and remediation of TSF’s to avoid this “chronic” cost and environmental challenges.

June 2025
While Indonesia’s decision to cancel a high-risk mine permit (reflecting wet tailing storage in a high seismicity risk area) is laudable, EcoVAP can create a win-win by eliminating the water, thus practically eliminating the need for a wet TSF.
