Mine water, permits and metals recovery
Mining across Europe is often held back not by geology but by water. Existing operations face permit reviews and new critical-mineral projects struggle to get permitted, both blocked at meeting discharge limits. Danu Water closes that gap, and can recover saleable by-products while it does.

These are jobs, not a fixed line-up
The applications illustrate the jobs that are often needed in a site. In practice, we design around each site's own combination of problems. Where and how much water we take, and where we return it, is up to you. Often a single unit can do several jobs, or a pair are designed to work together.
Application
Final polish for permit compliance
Polishes treated discharge to reduce sulphate and metals further, recovering by-products such as sodium sulphate.

Designed in for new projects
Built into the water design of new lithium, rare earth and other critical-mineral projects from day one.

Mine water for reuse
Treats pumped mine water to a quality that can be used for agriculture or industry, rather than simply discharged.

Salt control in bioleaching
Selectively removes sodium chloride from bioleach solutions, keeping copper and iron in the circuit.
