DRA was contracted by Umsimbithi Mining (Glencore Coal JV) to provide holistic water treatment solution for their operation at Wonderfontein Colliery. With extensive experience in mine water reclamation, DRA has constructed a 3 ML/D mine water treatment plant comprising of a 2-stage membrane process with inter-stage softening.
A state-of-the-art brine treatment plant concentrates the unrecovered water from the primary mine water treatment plant, economically reducing storage requirements.
Apart from the treatment plant, the project included supporting infrastructure such as water retaining structures, offices, control room, laboratories, change houses and workshops.
