Chemicals and explosives group AECI says it is expanding its water treatment technologies into mines in Africa, after a successful run of its latest water purification applications that have helped two local mines to save 2.2-billion litres of water annually.
There are about 200 mines in water-scarce SA, and the entire mining sector collectively consumes 2%-5% of SA’s available water, according to the Council for Scientific and Industrial Reseaerch (CSIR).
