Oilsands Tailings Pond Solutions

Revolutionizing Oilsands Tailings Pond Management

Increase recovery of wastewater, oil and fine minerals.
Reduce tailings pond growth and reduce existing pond sizes.

Tailings-pond management remains one of the oil sands industry’s most persistent operational and environmental challenges. One Eye Industries introduces an advanced magnetic filtration and treatment solution designed to clean process water and remove fine ferrous and magnetically responsive solids. The technology supports improved water reuse, material recovery opportunities, and reduced environmental and operational liability.

How It Works

OEI’s magnetic filtration technology removes fine ferrous and non–ferrous contamination from tailingsand process–water streams. The system captures particles that conventional filtration and settling methods struggle to address, improving overall water cleanliness without the use of disposable media or
chemical treatment.

  • Ferrous contamination – Captures iron-based particles generated by erosion and wear.
  • Non-ferrous contamination – Removes non-magnetic solids that adhere to captured ferrous material.
  • Fine suspended solids – Targets sub-micron to micron-scale particulate matter.
  • Mixed contamination – Removes combined ferrous and non-ferrous solids from the water phase.
  • Continuous operation – Operates in-line at full flow to treat the entire stream.

The system integrates into existing tailings and water-management circuits to support improved water reuse and solids control.

Benefits for Oilsands Operators

  • Designed for oil sands conditions – Engineered to operate in high-solids, high-volume, and harsh operating environments.
  • Improved water quality – Cleaner process water supports reuse and more stable water management.
  • Enhanced solids control – Removes fine ferrous and non-ferrous contamination from process-water streams.
  • Supports tailings management – Helps limit fine particulate carryover into tailings systems.
  • Material recovery opportunity – Captures suspended solids from process-water streams.
  • Non-chemical operation – Operates without disposable media or chemical additives.
  • Scalable and modular – Configurable for large flows, remote sites, and phased deployment.

Automation Options

Our oilsands tailings ponds solution is available in two configurations to meet different operational preferences:

Fully-Automatic System – Designed for minimal maintenance and maximum uptime, this version automates the entire cleaning process — no manual handling or cleaning of magnetic filter elements required. Ideal for high-volume, continuous operations.

Semi-Automatic System – A cost-effective option for facilities with on-site maintenance teams. A technician isolates the housing, triggers the cleaning cycle, and returns the unit to service. Quick, efficient, and reliable.
