Cr⁶⁺ Neutralization & Mine-Water Reuse

Water Type: Chromite mine runoff, pit water, and drainage

Performance Highlights (from calibration & third-party validation):

  • Hexavalent Chromium (Cr⁶⁺) neutralization and removal
  • Turbidity reduction
  • Temporary Hardness
  • Metals (Fe, Mn) reduction & removal
  • Sludge: TCLP-compliant for safe handling/disposal; low generation rate
  • Operations: low-energy footprint; treatment performance unaffected by trace oil/emulsions
