Mine Smarter; Waste Less - New Innovations Needed

Mine Smarter; Waste Less - New Innovations Needed

July 3, 2025

There is “collision course” of more mining needed in US vs. the notorious lack of innovation in the mining sector, and with "water management" being the biggest need for innovation.  EcoVAP fits this need of “less waste” with its Evaporation Matrices, providing 59x the amount of evaporation with no thermal energy, misters/srpayers and practically no opex…just the turbo-charged biomimicry of Mother Nature.  By dewatering tailings storage facilities (TSFs), the landspace required is shrunk to a small fraction, and environmental risks (such as catastrophic failures, breaches, leaks, wildlife harm) are practically eliminated.

Oil and Gas Waste Disposal is Endangering Water Sources
March 2025
While most of the environmental focus on oil/gas produced water disposal is on seismicity, the less talked about risk is the potential to contaminate freshwater drinking supplies. Although not as common or noticeable as earthquakes, the damage of contaminating an underground freshwater aquifer is much more long lasting, possibly permanent.

While EcoVAP’s biomimicry technology was originally developed to reduce wastewater disposal costs, we are always happy to reflect on all of its environmental advantages versus other means of disposing of contaminated water. (Photograph by Roy Mangersnes)
New Technology Allows Tailing Storage Facility Risk to Be Monitored from Space
