Mexico gold mine - case study
Turn-key wastewater reduction solution for a gold mine in Guerrero, Mexico.
XPEL partnered with a gold mining operation in Guerrero, Mexico, that needed a cost-effective way to reduce high wastewater volumes generated during production. We delivered a focused evaporation solution using two XPEL mechanical evaporators engineered to stabilize water levels and support safe, continuous mining activity.
The XPEL evaporation units provided a combined throughput of 800 GPM (180 m³/hour), delivering consistent wastewater reduction across the site. This performance improved operational efficiency, supported compliance, and reduced the risk of production delays caused by excess water.
Advanced water evaporation system for gold mining industry leader by XPEL.
The Mexico gold mining operation generated significant wastewater through processing and dewatering activities. Rising volumes placed pressure on storage capacity, increased environmental exposure, and challenged regulatory compliance.
Two XPEL evaporators with a combined evaporation capacity of 180 m³/hour enabled the mine to maintain controlled water levels and reduce operational strain without interrupting mining production. XPEL’s mechanical evaporation systems provided a cost-effective method for lowering stored water and maintaining stable operating conditions in a high-production environment.
Engineered reliability delivered by XPEL.
Targeted wastewater reduction: XPEL evaporators delivered steady throughput across a concentrated treatment area. This supported predictable and efficient water reduction for mining operations.
Operational continuity: Consistent evaporation maintained stable site conditions and reduced the risk of delays linked to excess water.
Environmental compliance: Lower wastewater volumes reduced environmental exposure and supported regulatory requirements for responsible mining operations.
