DELTAwater solutions technology treats water problems such as corrosion, scale, salinity and iron – all problems that impact on the efficiency and maintenance needs of mine sites.

Case study

Mine type – Zinc
Location – Xstrata McArthur River Mine, Northern Territory
Solution – Solve corrosion problems and reduce maintenance at wheel wash

Installation of a DELTA on groundwater supply rich in minerals such as calcium and magnesium to the wheel wash immediately slashed maintenance hours at this NT mine. The wheel wash is a crucial part of the mine’s operation with all vehicles, from light utes to heavy trucks, needing to go through it before leaving the site. Up to 200 vehicles use the facility a day. Due to corrosion problems, maintenance staff had to change jets fortnightly, or more at certain times of the year. The DELTA conditioner made an immediate difference and paid for itself quickly. The mine now doesn’t have to do maintenance or touch the wheel wash infrastructure for between three to six months.

Solutions for mining equipment

DELTA technology treats the problems that high levels of minerals such as calcium, hardness and magnesium create for mining equipment and increases efficiency at mine sites.

DeltaWater Solutions is solving the mining industry’s water quality problems, such as scale, salinity, iron and corrosion, with its range of magnetic water treatment technologies.
In mines across the globe, Delta products are reducing costs and time, while improving the efficiency of machinery, pumps and washing and screening equipment.
Delta's solutions also increase the rate at which pipes can deliver water across mine sites, as well as maintaining mine camp equipment such as dishwashers.
