BENEFITS TO THE MINING INDUSTRY
• Water-associated equipment free of scale
and iron
• Reduced cleaning and maintenance
• Less downtime and lost production
• Reduced machinery failure
• Reduced parts and replacement costs
• Increased service life of machinery
• Systems cleaner and more efficient
• Lower pumping and running costs
• More efficient cooling of motors and pumps
• Reduced corrosion
• Faster & lower cost regeneration of land
post mining
SALINITY
Dramatically enhanced growth & regeneration
LIME ORCHARD, QLD
“I started seeing results with new
shoots coming through the
branches that were still alive around
the base. And then, within four
weeks of watering, massive
flowering started and it just hasn't
stopped.
“People need to know there's
something out there that will give
them results with their water
problems, whether it's just in the
house, in the garden or for farmers
like me. I’m definitely
recommending it - because it
works.”
Phil Oliver, Biboohra
SCALE
SCALE PROBLEMS
Scale build-up in pipes, pumps,
irrigation systems, boilers, hot
water systems
Scale build-up on surfaces
Problems on mine sites and in mine
camps with dust suppression,
processing and dewatering
Before DELTA After DELTA
CALCIUM SCALE, NSW
At its worst we had an inch
and a half pipe completely
blocked. I knew we had to
look at a better way to
deliver our water. We have
had very little trouble since
installing our DELTA
treatment system. It works,
saves lots of time and lots of
worries. I'd certainly
recommend it, particularly to
fix scale problems in pipes.

RESULTS
• No more iron build up
• Mainline free of any

ALGAE
ALGAE PROBLEMS
Algae forms in pipes & irrigation
emitters
Algae forms in sprinklers
Algae forms on surfaces
Algae blocks filters
BEFORE DELTA Treatment AFTER DELTA Treatment

DELTA Treatment
of
Treated Sewage Effluent
(TSE)
PROBLEMS in TSE
Algae blooms in TSE storages
Algae restricts pumping &
irrigation systems
High salinity – soil damage
High Mineral content – scale
problems
DELTA TREATMENT SOLUTION FOR TSE
• Prevents & eliminates algae & bio-film in the
system.
• Prevents salt damage and salt build-up in
soils.
• Prevents and eliminates scale build up.
DELTA
APPLICATIONS
FOR MINING
IMPROVED DUST SUPPRESSION
Smaller Droplet Size because of reduced surface tension of water
Positively charged water droplets attracts dust particles

REVERSE OSMOSIS PLANTS
Pre-treating your water with DELTA water treatment
technology results in:
• Membranes remaining cleaner
• Improved output of filtered water
• Increased life of membranes
• RO pump not working as hard
• Reduced amounts of cleaning chemicals used

Mine Type – Coal
Location – Centennial Coal Mandalong
Solution - Scale prevention and descaling
of pipes.
Mine Type – Iron Ore
Location – Rio Tinto Brockman, Pilbara
WA Solution - Scale prevention.
Mine Type – Iron Ore
Location – Rio Tinto, Pilbara WA
Solution - Dust Suppression.
Project – Enshim Underground Project
Location – Emerald, Bowen Basin
Solution – Scale prevention and descaling
of pipes.
DELTA results at mine sites
Mine Type – ZincLocation – Xstrata McArthur River Mine,
Northern Territory Solution - Reduced
maintenance at wheel wash/ Reduced
scale & calcium in amenities, eliminate
salinity problems in their regeneration
nursery. 14 DELTAwater conditioners
were installed throughout the mine site.
Mine Type – Zinc and LeadLocation – Zinafex Lawn Hill, North QLD
Solution - Reduced scale build-up in
amenities block.

XSTRATA MACARTHUR RIVER MINE, NT
Drive-through truck wheel wash
PROBLEM
Nozzles constantly blocking with scale from hard water
Regular cleaning and maintenance needed
SOLUTION DELTA 100G5 installed
RESULTS
Nozzles remain clear
No more maintenance
No more downtime
WAMBO Coal handling & preparation plant
PROBLEM Conveyer spray bar’s restricted and blocking
with scale.
Scale on Screen Panels, reduced screening efficiency.
SOLUTION 2 x DELTA SU300-SL505 (300mm pipe)
installed
RESULTS
Spray Bar nozzles clean
Improved efficiency with cleaner
Screen Panels
PING SHUO COAL MINE Coal handling & preparation plant
PROBLEM Water with extremely
high mineral content causing
scale build-up on surfaces of
equipment
SOLUTION Installed DELTA water
treatment products at mine site
RESULTS
Significant reduction of scale
build-up on equipment surfaces
No new scale forming on surfaces
cleaned with DELTA-treated water
Scale build-up before DELTA
Scale reduced
significantly
after DELTA.
