Sulfate abatement in Carén liquid industrial waste
Expected impacts
- Mitigate the risk of environmental non-compliance due to high variability in sulfate concentrations.
- Scale up technologies for contact water treatment and management.
Proposed solutions
- Implement technology that allows clear water sulphate to be removed from the Carén liquid industrial waste, in compliance with Supreme Decree No. 90.
- Develop a hydrogeochemical study for Carén liquid industrial waste plant crane advancement modeling.
- Develop innovation studies and pilot programs to validate the best technological alternatives for sulfate removal.
- Identify the best technological alternative considering water recirculation from the Carén reservoir.
Progress
COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION ANALYSIS, AS PART OF THE SCOPE OF THE CARÉN DEVELOPMENT PROJECT - PRE-FEASIBILITY (T22C219)
As part of the scope of Project T22C219, approved during September 2022, we conducted an analysis of an integral solution for Sulfate removal from the Carén liquid industrial waste dump.
Some solutions for the Carén reservoir considered as part of the T22C219 Project are as follows:
- Sulfate removal pilot plant (during the first half of 2022)
- Profile Engineering Carén Development Project (2021)
