DELTAwater solves scale build-up at WA mine site

Did you know DELTAwater solutions works closely with customers to design and manufacture water treatment systems that suit their individual needs? This is because one size does definitely NOT fit all when it comes to water treatment for bore, river and dam water.

In April 2023 we sent a 500-kilogram DELTAwater conditioner to a WA mine site which is experiencing significant scale build-up in their pumps and pipes when they are dewatering. Their new bore water treatment system will save the mine time, maintenance and cost.

The EC levels of the bore water at this mine site is 250,000 EC (sea water is around 52,000 EC). They are pumping their bore water through a 200mm pipe, and in less than 24 hours their pumps and pipes get blocked and the maintenance crew is working continually to clear the scale build-up. They are installing a DELTAwater bore water treatment conditioner to enable them to move the bore water from point A to point B without having to continually unblock their equipment.

DELTAwater solutions, founded 30 years ago by Alex and Dianne Panov, designs and manufactures their own water treatment products in their Newcastle manufacturing plant, enabling them to come up with new and innovative ways to treat specific water problems.

We will keep you updated as this BIG DELTAwater conditioner makes it way across the Nullaboor and to its new home!

We have numerous DELTAwater conditioners in mines across Australia including one in a Kalgoorlie gold mine which we custom designed to treat their calcium scale problems, and this has been successfully treating their bore water for 20 years.
