Reprocessing of tailings discharged into the BD2 dam through the hopper.
ABOUT IT
The project consists of reprocessing of drainage waste from the power plant, which were originally directed towards the BD2 dam. Following feasibility studies, a route for reusing these waste materials:
The materials that settle in dam ponds They are loaded onto trucks and taken to hopper;
In the hopper, it occurs crushing the material;
The processed material is then targeted for recovery piles, returning to production process, reducing waste.
Results and Objectives
Objectives
Reduce the amount of waste. deposited in dams, minimizing environmental impacts;
Reintegrating waste into the production process, promoting a circular economy;
Reduce the use of areas for waste disposal.;
To generate operational and sustainable efficiency., making use of materials previously considered passive.
Results
Until August 2025, 423,648 tons were waste reprocessed, preventing the deposit in the dam;
100% of the processed material returned to the production cycle., adding value to the by-product;
Project developed using internal resources., with no additional implementation costs;
Minimizing environmental impact, reducing the risks associated with the disposal of tailings in dams.
