Mine Water and Tailings Management
Dow provides solutions for mine water and tailings management applications which require product offerings from fine particle filtration to antiscalant technologies.
Water Supply & Reuse
Dow’s membrane and filtration technologies are a key enabler for successful water treatment and reuse in your mining operation. Our separation technologies allow water to be processed from even the most challenging sources – such as seawater, fresh or brackish groundwater and surface waters. Mining operations located in water-stressed areas can benefit from dedicated membrane installations to reduce the water footprint and treat wastewaters to the right quality for beneficial reuse. Dow’s antiscalants and biocides provide increased operational capacity and efficiency by reducing downtime and maintenance and adding longevity to your water treatment assets.
Tailings & Waste Streams
Dow strives to be the performance leader in membranes for mining by applying differentiated technology and expertise to solve our customers’ most challenging separation and purification problems in mine tailings and waste streams.
Acid Mine Drainage (AMD)
Dow provides integrated solutions to help our customers tackle their acid mine drainage problems. Dow’s breadth of membrane and filtration technologies are key to successful water treatment and reuse in your mining operation. The cost-effective use of FILMTEC™ Membranes in challenging waters can be achieved with proper pre-treatment using Dow Ultrafiltration™ products and operational protocols that include antiscalants VERSENE™, VERSENEX™, and ACUMER™ products.
Antiscalants for Mining Processes
Dow offers a variety of antiscaling and scale removal options for mining processes including ACUMER Dispersant Polymers and EDTA and DTPA based scale inhibitors and removers.

Optimize solid/liquid separation
Concentrate and tailings streams both require effective solid/liquid separation. Dewatering aids are used in the thickeners and filtration units to improve the speed and effectiveness of dewatering. Dow’s POLYOX™ WSR Specialty Flocculants exhibit a unique attraction toward colloidal silicates and are added to thickener feed streams to optimize dewatering and maximize solids density (note, can be used as co-flocculant to enhance mainstream flocculants).
