New technology evolves passive water treatment

As we all strive towards more sustainable practices, Canada’s mining industry is held to some of the highest environmental standards in the world. Thanks to new research and technology, water treatment techniques are advancing at an unprecedented rate, unlocking new treatment solutions that are emerging at the forefront of international ‘best practices’. One such group of modern technologies are collectively referred to as “semi-passive” water treatment. This includes constructed wetland treatment systems, biochemical reactors such as gravel bed bioreactors, and in situ treatment (treatment at the source) such as pit lake and flooded underground mine pool treatment.
