Metals Refinery Wastewater Treatment Plant Evaluation, Confidential Mining Client, Canada.

Retained to evaluate and troubleshoot a wastewater treatment for a facility that refines nickel, cobalt and precious metals. Facility discharge experienced unexplained intermittent variability in TSS and nickel in its effluent water quality. Systematic evaluation of the wastewater treatment assets identified that the changes in the alkalinity in the treated wastewater combined with infiltration of stormwater into the equalization ponds led to intermittent localized undersaturated conditions, causing the dissolution of historical calcium carbonate deposits, which would release TSS and nickel into solution. Developed operational strategies to mitigate recurrence and a sampling program to proactively monitor local variations in calcium carbonate saturation levels.
