SGS has been designing Acid Rock Drainage (ARD) treatment plants since 1998. Our extensive piloting experience enables us to methodically pilot and design efficient, cost effective ARD treatment plants based on available, proven technologies. Our design experts can provide practical treatment solutions even for operations with severe site restrictions.
SGS has a mobile pilot plant available for ARD piloting work as well as a larger mobile treatment plant for batch-treating contaminated solutions. These provide credible baseline information and help us establish reliable design parameters for more permanent treatment plant.
SGS is dedicated to ensuring your water treatment project performs according to specifications, regulations and to your satisfaction. We will stay involved throughout the project, reviewing and approving design and construction drawings, and can accept responsibility during plant commissioning and start-up when requested.
Partner with SGS for all your water testing and treatment needs and let us help you mitigate your operational and environmental risks and liabilities. We have the experience and the technical expertise to provide you with most efficient and affordable methods of managing your water resources.
