Plants for wastewater management in oil, gas and mining

Wastewater management and waste recovery in oil, gas and mining

Condorchem Enviro Solutions designs and installs plants for the treatment of wastewater generated in various oil, gas, and mining production processes. These sectors produce wastewater that contains contaminants such as hydrocarbons, heavy metals, suspended solids, salts, chemicals, and organic matter. Our advanced treatment systems enable the efficient removal of these contaminants, ensuring compliance with the most stringent environmental regulations.

Moreover, our plants are designed to recover valuable raw materials and by-products present in the wastewater generated in these sectors. In this way, we help our clients optimize resources, reduce costs, and improve the sustainability of their operations.

The main sources of pollution that can be found in oil and gas extraction plants and mines are:

Drilling fluids, brines, and produced water
Serviced water
Bitter water from refineries
Leaching, flotation, and concentration water in mining
Effluents from refining and gas scrubbers in mining

At Condorchem Envitech, we have extensive experience in implementing the most efficient and reliable technologies for treating the various types of effluents generated by any oil and gas extraction plant, as well as in mining operations.

We have carried out projects for companies engaged in the following activities:

Oil and gas exploration and drilling
Gas and crude oil field extraction
Oil refineries
Mineral extraction and processing

Case studies for oil, gas and mining

Rincon Mining Limited – Case StudyMining

Treatment of brines in oil extractionThe congenital waters, saline waters, or liquid brine are a byproduct of crude oil extraction, just like the natural gas that flows through the well.

Methods for the extraction of minerals with rare earthsWe analyze different methods and technologies for the extraction of rare earth minerals and their use in various production processes.

Treatment of tailings in mining operationsWe review the alternatives on the market to reuse or discharge clean water in the processes of mining operations

Lithium extraction and refining through vacuum crystallizationWe thoroughly review the extraction, crystallization and extraction of lithium compounds, as well as other aspects of lithium mining.

Nickel / cobalt mining extraction proceduresMining of these metals, together with others technologically associated with electronic advances, is being reactivated to guarantee growing supplies; especially for the fields of batteries, computers, hybrid and electric vehicles.

Saline water treatment plants and industrial brine managementSaline water management (also know as brine treatment) is essential in many industrial sectors due to its potential danger for the environment.

Mining wastewater treatmentMining wastewater treatment avoids environmental damage from minery acid water. Preventative and active measures are to be taken with best technologies.
