Mine tailings are the waste products of a mining operation. Often toxic, the mining industry is compelled to meet certain regulatory conditions to avoid tailings contamination of groundwater.
The Hydravent Venting System has a demonstrated track record of being more effective than conventional venting solutions. It all starts with our innovative design that allows water to travel across 70% of the internal surface.
The outer surface is covered with thermally-bonded, needle-punctured fabric that is designed to let ground gasses in, while keeping silt and other clogging particles out. All of this culminates in a system that has a zero-percent failure rate when properly installed. You read that correctly—a Hydravent system has never failed when properly installed.
The mining industry is one of the most tightly regulated sectors that exist. A big part of compliance is effective venting and the environmental impact of natural processes like erosion by excess water or other factors. At Intech, we have years of experience in working within the compliance regulations of various industries. We optimized our tools and services to help our customers stay in the lines of those standards and still perform at their best.
Aside from transporting ground gasses to where it can be safely vented, mining infrastructure will invariably include a synthetic liner that is designed to prevent seepage of wastewater into groundwater and, eventually, other bodies of water.
Before these liners and seepage prevention were mandated by governments at all levels, poisoned ecosystems and even foods were a common occurrence.
Why is any of this relevant here? Because a crucial element of a compliant mine is a healthy synthetic liner. Once again, Hydravent has the answer.
