Portable Centrifuge: Water Efficiency and Sustainability in Drilling Operations
ABOUT IT
The project's Energold Portable Centrifuge It is an innovative solution developed by Energold Drilling Brazil to efficient use of water resources e reducing environmental impacts in drilling operations.
Designed for operate in a closed circuit, The centrifuge allows the complete reuse of the water used, without the need to add chemicals, contributing directly to the preservation of water resources in mineral exploration areas.
The equipment has processing capacity of 9,000 L/h, structure modular and portable, It is transportable by trucks or smaller vehicles, and can be easily disassembled and lifted. These characteristics make the centrifuge suitable for projects in hard-to-reach regions, without compromising operational performance.
Results and Objectives
Objectives
Reduce water consumption through the implementation of technologies Closed-loop reuse in drilling operations.
Optimize water efficiency during drilling, ensuring operational sustainability.
Minimize environmental impact associated with water intake and disposal.
Monitor and manage water usage. in real time, with automated data collection and integration into environmental management platforms.
Offering portable and flexible solutions, adaptable to different geographical and logistical conditions.
Expected Results and Impacts
Reduction of more than 50% in water consumption per meter drilled., observed in preliminary tests even with increased production.
Average water savings of approximately 800 liters per meter drilled., depending on external operational variables.
Precise monitoring of water consumption, considering both new water intake how much reuse of treated water, through specific control points and dedicated app.
Minimizing the generation of chemical waste., due to Operation without additives in the water circuit..
Ease of transport and operation, allowing application in remote areas without significantly increasing the environmental footprint.
