Mining Water Filtration: Dust Control, Water Recycling & Compliance Solutions
Mining Site

Everfilt® offers a range of custom-engineered water filtration systems that support the mining industry in several critical ways, from reclaiming and reusing water to protecting equipment and meeting environmental compliance.


1. Water Reclamation & Recycling


Everfilt® designs custom advanced water treatment systems that reclaim water for non-potable uses such as:


  • Facility cleaning & sanitation.

  • Dust suppression & erosion control.

  • Equipment & vehicle washing.

  • Irrigation (non-edible vegetation).

  • Process water reuse.


These systems are particularly valuable for sustainable operations, reducing

freshwater usage while helping reduce operational costs and meet regulatory standards.


2. Dust Control & Fine Particle Removal:


Mining operations frequently rely on water for dust suppression, but untreated water with sediments like sand and silt can damage nozzles, clog equipment, and degrade system performance.


Everfilt’s multi-media filtration systems effectively remove these fine particles, improving spray coverage and reducing equipment wear and downtime.


3. Tailing Pond Water Recovery:


Tailings ponds hold water containing suspended solids. Everfilt’s systems filter these items to:


  • Reduce reliance on fresh water.

  • Cut disposal & transport costs.

  • Enable water reuse in remote or resource-scarce locations.


4. Mine Dewatering Filtration:


In underground mining, water pumped to the surface needs treatment before reuse or discharge. Everfilt’s modular, scalable systems are tailored to filter mine water, ensuring operational continuity and environmental compliance.


5. Heavy Metal, Hydrocarbon & Contaminant Removal:


Mining water may contain dissolved heavy metals (like lead, arsenic, mercury) or hydrocarbons. Everfilt® employs advanced technologies like:



These methods help remove trace contaminants with minimal chemical usage, supporting eco-friendly water recovery. For oil and gas–related produced water, Everfilt® also provides polishing filters downstream of bulk separation to remove remaining hydrocarbons and fine particulates.
