Chronic vs. Catastrophic Failures of TSF’: EcoVAP’s Value-Add for Either
Chronic vs. Catastrophic Failures of TSF’: EcoVAP’s Value-Add for Either
April 2, 2025
This Linked In article makes an important distinction between the much more visible “catastrophic” failures of Tailings Storage Facilities (“TSFs”) vs. the much more common “chronic” failures of seepage, leaks, erosion, etc., particularly of the inactive and abandoned TSFs. For either challenge, EcoVAP’s ability to inexpensively dewater the TSF can be a silver bullet. However, given the relatively easy disassembly and mobility of the Evaporative Matrices, EcoVAP is particularly suited for end-of-life closure and remediation of TSF’s to avoid this “chronic” cost and environmental challenges.

Permian: Increasing Earthquake Clusters Lead to Renewed Regulatory Interest
October 2021
Predictably, the recent recovery Permian basin E+P activity has also led to increasing SWD volumes and earthquake “clusters". This has lead to more stringent regulations on the Texas side of the basin that are expected to affect 76 facilities. On the western side, New Mexico regulators are also considering a variety of measure to reduce earthquake risk.
