Mining Water Recovery
Recovering metals.
Restoring water.
Mining water doesn’t have to be wasted.
Our modular BIOS UPCORE system captures valuable metals from mine-influenced water while producing clean, discharge-ready water.
It transforms a costly environmental liability into a stream of recovered resources.
Let’s help you turn mining water into value.
The problem.
Why is mining water a challenge?
Metals are lost instead of recovered
High sludge production and disposal cost
Limited adaptability to seasonal or process changes
Compliance risk when water quality fluctuates
Our solution.
- Modular, multi-stage recovery process tailored for mining water
- Captures metals like Cu, Co, Ni, Mg, Mn, REEs as saleable brines
- Produces clean water with high recovery rates (>99.9% potential)
- Energy-efficient, cost-effective process with strong IRR potential
- Configurable for acidic, alkaline, or mixed MIW streams

Mining Water Recovery
Why it matters.
Mining operations are under increasing pressure to reduce discharge, minimize environmental impact, and recover critical raw materials.
Mine water often contains metals that are expensive to extract from ore — yet they’re lost every day through conventional treatment systems.
The BIOS UPCORE process treats mining water not as waste, but as an untapped resource.
It transforms compliance-driven water treatment into a system that recovers metal value, reduces disposal cost, and supports ESG and sustainability goals.

How it works.
Our Mining Water Recovery process
Each mine is unique — but every project follows the same clear path from lab analysis to full-scale recovery.
1. Assess & design
PFAS are ultra-stable and difficult to remove, especially in complex streams like leachate. Traditional methods are costly, slow, or produce new waste problems.
2. Pilot on site
containerized pilot proves performance and economics.
3. Deploy
scale to required capacity with plug-in modules.
4. Optimize
continuous data + AI monitoring keeps removal rates high and costs low.
1. Characterize
We analyze metal content, acidity, COD, and flow variability to map recovery potential and economic feasibility.
2. Pilot on site
A pilot unit is deployed to confirm real-world metal recovery and clean-water performance.
3. Deploy
Full-scale modules are installed, scaling to your required water flow and metal volumes.
4. Optimize
Real-time sensors and digital-twin analytics continuously improve recovery rates and operating cost.
Proof of recovery
High metal-recovery performance demonstrated in pilot conditions.
Suitability
Engineered for operation in high-acidity and variable-flow mining streams.
