Disappointingly, miner’s water recycling rates have flattened, if not fallen, since 2021.  EcoVAP is finalizing a new technology to help with water purification and reuse.  However, as with all wastewater technologies, and in nearly all industries that generate wastewater, the process of extracting the reusable (i.e., cleaner) water will always also generate an even more contaminated residual wastewater (i.e., slurry, or “brine concentrate” or “concentrate” in reverse osmosis, for example).  For wastewater disposal, EcoVAP’s proven, biomimicry-based enhanced evaporation is here to help with all-in costs that are usually well below traditional wastewater disposal methods.
