Explore our mining solutions

Water is critical at every stage of mining. It must be moved, managed, treated and monitored reliably to protect people, equipment and production. Yet changing inflows, abrasive media, remote assets, high energy use and unplanned downtime can place constant pressure on operations.

Grundfos supports the full mining water cycle with pumping, dosing, control and monitoring solutions designed around the application. Whether the requirement is underground dewatering, open-pit drainage, raw-water intake, dust suppression or wastewater handling, our solutions help operators improve reliability, optimise energy use and maintain greater control of critical water systems.

Solutions across the mining water cycle

A complete approach to water management, from source to discharge.

  • Mine dewatering and drainage: Manage groundwater and water inflows in underground workings, open pits, peripheral areas and boreholes.
  • Raw-water intake and transfer: Move water reliably from boreholes, reservoirs, ponds and other sources to where it is needed.
  • Process-water supply and pressure boosting: Maintain the required flow and pressure for essential mining processes and site services.
  • Water treatment and chemical dosing: Support accurate chemical dosing, polymer preparation, filtration and treatment processes.
  • Wastewater and solids handling: Transport wastewater containing fibres or suspended solids with solutions designed for demanding duty.
  • Dust suppression: Deliver dependable water supply and pressure for dust-control systems.
  • Heap and in-situ leaching support: Provide pumping and precise dosing solutions for mineral-processing applications.
  • Settlement ponds and water reuse: Transfer and manage water between collection, treatment and reuse points.
  • Fire-protection water supply: Support safety systems with suitable water supply and pump configurations.
  • Controls, protection and monitoring: Protect motors, control pump operation and enable remote visibility of water infrastructure.
