Water Filters for Mining Operations
Self-Cleaning Water Filtration for Mining Operations
Mining operations face water challenges from abrasive slurries and high-solids process water to equipment protection in very remote locations. Water filtration is critical for flotation processes, dust suppression, equipment cooling, and meeting increasingly strict water usage regulations.
Traditional filtration systems struggle with the high-solids content, abrasive particles, and harsh operating conditions typical in mining environments. Tekleen automatic self-cleaning water filters deliver reliable performance in the most demanding mining applications, reducing downtime, protecting critical equipment, and supporting environmental compliance.
Tekleen filters operate reliably in harsh operating environments, handling abrasive particles and high-solids content that would quickly clog conventional filters. The automated self-cleaning cycle activates based on pressure differential, maintaining a continuous flow of clean water to your process all without manual intervention — essential for remote mining sites where maintenance access is limited.
The Problem
Key Challenges in Mining Water Management
Abrasive Particles Process water in mining operations contains suspended solids, sand, and abrasive particles that damage pumps, clog spray nozzles, and interfere with flotation and separation processes. These contaminants cause premature equipment failure and costly unplanned maintenance.
High-Solids Process Water Tailings water, mill discharge, and recirculated process water contain high concentrations of suspended solids that overwhelm traditional filtration systems, leading to frequent shutdowns and filter replacements.
Equipment Protection Protecting critical systems like cooling circuits, hydraulic systems, and process equipment from contamination is essential for maintaining operations in remote areas where service is timely and costly
Environmental Compliance Mining operations face strict regulations regarding water discharge quality and usage. Effective filtration is essential for meeting environmental standards and avoiding costly penalties or operational restrictions.
Dust Suppression System Reliability Dust control systems require consistent, clean water flow to maintain effective suppression. Clogged nozzles and inconsistent spray patterns compromise dust control effectiveness and regulatory compliance.
Automated operation requires minimal intervention, only 1 hour of annual maintenance
Handles high-concentration slurries without clogging
Continuous operation during the cleaning cycle, only requires twice a year preventive maintenance
Consistent flow and pressure to all critical systems
