​We offer our advisory services to the following industries seeking sustainable saline waste solutions via volume reduction, product recovery, brine pre-treatment for regulated discharge, or any combination thereof for their footprint reduction:  

• Mining and mineral processing operations generating saline effluents with complex chemistries 

• Desalination, including membrane and thermal based seawater and inland desalination processes, co-producing reject brine

• Oil/gas exploration and production from conventional and unconventional sources, generating saline produced water or fracking effluents

• Energy generation by waste-to-energy and geothermal energy production methods, generating fly ash and/or air pollution control residue (APCr) that are often characterised by elevated content of soluble salts and hazardous metals, requiring their removal prior to safe land disposal

• Coastal coal power plants operating ash impoundments, seeking removal and safe disposal of saline dam water and/or saline effluent generated from fly ash washing processes

• Hazardous waste management companies seeking safe disposal of effluents (including PFAS containing residual solutions) 

• Municipal/industrial sewage waste incineration operations, generating fly ash containing elevated concentrations of soluble salts and heavy metals

• Petrochemical/metallurgical processes, generating various types of brine effluents

• Companies involved with mineral extraction from saline solutions, such as the recovery of lithium and potassium sulphate salts, requiring pre-treatment of feed solution or polishing of the spent brine prior to re-injection/discharge 

• Cement manufacturing operations producing cement kiln dust, often needing the removal of soluble salts and hazardous metals prior to land disposal

• Communities and jurisdictions requiring expert advice and practical solutions for saline groundwater ingress or salt scalding, to avoid adverse impacts on the built structures and infrastructure
