Improving Water Quality at Mining Companies

Mining companies typically have high regulator standards to meet in terms of water remediation. However, requirements aren’t standardized and may vary from country to country, state to state, or region to region. 

Complying with regulations requires operators to monitor various parameters and contaminants. Testing takes time, capital, and a large amount of manual labor. Often, mines must take manual samples and send them to third-party labs for testing and analysis. However, dealing with issues is delayed when water sampling is inconsistent. 

A system that can bridge that gap and allow on-site sampling ensures water testing at regular intervals with results at an operator’s fingertips in minutes – not days. 

With KETOS, mining companies get:

• An automated system that can test as often as required for a variety of parameters (30+)
• Modular hardware that can be placed strategically throughout a mine’s operations
• Robust technology that can work in all conditions (indoor/outdoor, rain or shine)
• Customizable threshold alerts to allow for water-related decision-making in-real-time

Manual testing is no longer required when mining companies leverage KETOS. And with a cloud-enabled dashboard, water operators can receive and review their readings in real-time, take advantage of predictive/prescriptive analytics to see around corners, and have reporting available for regulatory bodies and oversight boards.
