As water resources become more and more constrained, mining and mineral processing companies explore new and alternative water sources to meet production demands. In some cases, seawater and seawater reverse osmosis (RO) permeates are pumped long distances to mine sites in order to secure enough water for day-to-day operations. These long and expensive pipelines are critical to the economic success of the mines that rely on them.
