Resources Water Technology shares
global concern around environmental degradation and in particular consumption of
water and energy resources. Enabling effective production while minimizing
degradation of the environment is at the core of the technological development
drive for Resources Water Technology.
By developing new or cleaner water
technologies, we make production processes more efficient, reduce costs and help
prevent environmental degradation. By adopting best international environmental
practice and maintaining compliance with legislative and other requirements,
Resources Water Technology works closely with owner / operators to promote clean
and sustainable mineral processing.
In general responsible
environmental practice for owner / operators includes the following
aspects:
-
Obtaining or maintaining ISO 14001
certification.
-
Compliance with legislation, regulations
and permits.
-
The security of and improvement of
efficiency in the use of energy resources.
-
The security of and improvement of
efficiency in the use of water resources;
-
Minimizing the impact of operations on air
quality.
-
Understanding the risks and opportunities
presented by climate change.
-
Eliminating waste disposal to
landfill.
-
Responsible materials stewardship.
-
Supporting biodiversity and minimizing
impacts on land resources.
-
Minimizing closure environmental risks
through integrated environmental management and closure planning.
Resources Water Technology assess
the eco-efficiency and health, safety and environmental impacts as well as the
effects of incorporating best practice and cleaner more efficient water
technology in the various stages of our products through impact assessments,
internal auditing, and life cycle assessments.
Water contamination is produced by
many different pollutants in the mining and industrial environment. The
chemicals used can vary greatly in the degree of hazard they pose to the
environment. In particular the potential negative impacts of hazardous chemical
use must be anticipated and avoided through appropriate controls and effective
water treatment systems. Resources Water Technology supports and sustains
responsible and careful water management, by focusing on water treatment
technology whilst maintaining a focused approach to industrial wastewater
treatment.
Resources Water Technology ensures
that all projects, processes and equipment supplied comply with regulatory and
community based requirements including:
-
Noise Emission Control and
Minimization.
-
Aesthetic and Visual Impact.
-
Toxic Chemical Removal /
Destruction.
-
Dust Control.
-
Project Specific Environmental
Requirements.
With environmental responsibility
at the core of technological progress Resources Water Technology takes a
responsible and proactive role in all aspects of its water
technologies.
