ViroMineTM Technology

ViroMine™ Technology provides a total solution to the management and treatment of waste in the mining industry.

Most of mining liabilities arise from the chemical reactivity of tailings and waste rock, and their effects upon water and the environment rather than from the volume of tailings material generated during operations.

ViroMine™ Technology neutralises the actual and potential acidity of existing tailings and waste rock preventing Acid Rock Drainage (ARD) and permananetly binding heavy metals in non-bio- available forms. When applied to tailings dams and contaminated process water, ViroMine™Technology cleans the water to regulatory limits and allows for safe discharge to the environment or reuse in processing.

ViroMine™ Technology also promotes revegetation lowers the timeframe for rehabilitation and facilitates mine closure.

ViroMine™ Technology is a roadmap to sustainability and increased profits for mining companies who incorporate this technology into their production processes.

The largest number of Environmental complaints concern odour. All Virotec technologies have excellent de-odourising qualities.
