Mining Water Recycling Rates Stagnate
Mining Water Recycling Rates Stagnate
April 2, 2025
Disappointingly, miner’s water recycling rates have flattened, if not fallen, since 2021. EcoVAP is finalizing a new technology to help with water purification and reuse. However, as with all wastewater technologies, and in nearly all industries that generate wastewater, the process of extracting the reusable (i.e., cleaner) water will always also generate an even more contaminated residual wastewater (i.e., slurry, or “brine concentrate” or “concentrate” in reverse osmosis, for example). For wastewater disposal, EcoVAP’s proven, biomimicry-based enhanced evaporation is here to help with all-in costs that are usually well below traditional wastewater disposal methods.

Chronic vs. Catastrophic Failures of TSF’: EcoVAP’s Value-Add for Either
April 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. read more...
Oil and Gas Waste Disposal is Endangering Water Sources
March 2025
While most of the environmental focus on oil/gas produced water disposal is on seismicity, the less talked about risk is the potential to contaminate freshwater drinking supplies. Although not as common or noticeable as earthquakes, the damage of contaminating an underground freshwater aquifer is much more long lasting, possibly permanent.
The 15 Biggest Environmental Problems of 2025: EcoVAP Checks Most of the Boxes as a Solution
February 2025
While EcoVAP’s biomimicry technology was originally developed to reduce wastewater disposal costs, we are always happy to reflect on all of its environmental advantages versus other means of disposing of contaminated water. (Photograph by Roy Mangersnes)
