ABOUT IT
The project Recirculation of water from tailings and sludge dams its objective maximize water reuse in the industrial process, promoting water sustainability and circular economy.
Since the establishment of mining in the municipality of Tapira, a water recirculation system which includes tailings and sludge dams. With this, The largest volume of water used in the process comes from recirculation., avoiding the intake of new water in natural water sources and contributing to the preservation of water resources.
