Minto Mine in the Yukon Territories is home to the first modern constructed wetland treatment system (CWTS) in a cold Canadian northern climate. Operating since 2014, the demonstration-scale system has proven that CWTS can effectively treat mine water during months of free-flowing water despite the site’s sub-arctic continental climate.
Read MoreBiogeochemical water treatment, including semi-passive treatment (e.g., constructed wetlands, bioreactors, and in situ treatments) can be used to treat different constituents of concern in the mining, oil, and gas industries.
Read MoreSelecting water treatment approaches is a complex undertaking and can be quite confusing if it’s not something you’re familiar with. Sometimes, an analogy can be helpful to briefly explain complex concepts, so in this session, we are using the process of choosing and cooking potato dishes as an analogy to choosing and implementing water treatment technologies. That’s right… for today’s topic, we are setting goals and defining questions for water treatment, all using potatoes as an analogy.
Read MoreThere are two main high-level ways to conceptualize how contaminants are treated in water: transfers and transformations. Understanding these two general mechanisms can help you with the outcomes of any form of water treatment and better evaluate the risks and benefits of particular treatment options.
Read MoreWhat is semi-passive water treatment? The key to understanding is the prefix semi. Previously, these types of systems were often referred to as passive water treatment. However, there has been a shift in industry to semi-passive
Read MoreThank you for your interest in Maven’s explainer videos about semi-passive water treatment and general water management/treatment for the mining and oil and gas sectors. Given that we are isolated for COVID-19 right now, we are bringing you this by whiteboard from Monique’s living room.
