Mining Tailings Pond Solutions

Transforming Mine Waste into Opportunity

Recover water, reclaim land, and capture valuable minerals — all while reducing long-term environmental liabilities.

Tailings ponds in mining operations are complex reservoirs of ultra-fine solids, residual metals, and process chemicals. They represent not only a significant environmental challenge, but also a missed opportunity for material and water recovery.

One Eye Industries introduces an advanced magnetic filtration and treatment solution designed to clean process water while enabling the recovery of suspended solids. The technology supports reduced operational and environmental liability and improved environmental performance.

Benefits for Mining Operators

Improved water quality – Cleaner process water supports reuse and recycle.
Material recovery opportunity – Captures suspended solids that would otherwise report to tailings.
Reduced solids loading – Lowers fine particulate carryover in process-water streams.
Supports tailings management – Cleaner water improves downstream handling and control.
Industrial design – Rugged, modular systems suited for harsh and remote mining environments.

How It Works

OEI’s magnetic filtration technology removes ferrous and non-ferrous particles that conventional filtration systems struggle to capture. The system operates continuously and does not rely on disposable media.

- Ferrous particles – Captures iron-based solids from erosion and wear.
- Ultra-fine solids – Removes sub-micron particles associated with ferrous material.
- Mixed contamination – Non-ferrous particles adhere to captured ferrous solids and are removed together.
- High solids loading – Retains large volumes of solids with minimal flow restriction.
- Full-flow operation – Treats the entire process stream without bypass.

Automation Options

We offer two system configurations to fit your operational strategy:

Fully-Automatic System
Continuous operation with zero manual filter cleaning. Ideal for 24/7 process plants and centralized tailings treatment.

Semi-Automatic System
Requires manual isolation and cleaning by on-site personnel. Reliable, easy to operate, and cost-effective.

Unlocking Value from Tailings

Maximize Recovery: Water. Land. Metals. Efficiency

Our system doesn’t just process tailings – it reclaims what’s valuable inside them:

Accelerate Land Reclamation

by improving dewatering rates

Retain Valuable Metal Fines

like iron, copper, and zinc

Enhance Process Efficiency

by recirculating cleaner water and reducing plant downtime

This creates direct cost savings, supports ESG goals, and reduces long-term closure liabilities.

Let’s Talk Performance

From base metals to rare earths, we’ll tailor a solution that improves recovery, reduces environmental load, and prepares your site for responsible closure.
