Real-time water intelligence for mining
Mine water is where AquaValid grew up: harsh, high-TDS, metal-laden streams where the gap between grab samples is measured in risk — compliance risk at discharge, recovery risk in the circuit.
Where continuous data changes the job
Effluent and tailings compliance
Zinc, copper, lead, cadmium, selenium — the permit metals, trending continuously between the accredited lab samples that build your record.
Recovery on live data
Dissolved metal in bleed and raffinate streams is product loss; extraction chemistry tuned on response beats chemistry tuned on last week’s assay.
Storm and season visibility
Mine-water excursions are weather-driven and seasonal — exactly the events fixed sampling schedules miss.

Mining FAQ
Which mine waters can AquaValid monitor?
Effluent and tailings water, process and reclaim streams, leach solutions, and high-TDS brines — harsh matrices are the design point. A sample of your actual water establishes matrix-specific performance.
Does it replace our compliance lab programme?
No — accredited ICP remains the compliance record. AquaValid adds the continuous visibility between samples: excursions caught in time to act, and a time-stamped record supporting every lab result.
Has it run at a real mine site?
Yes — including a field deployment at ~3,100 m altitude and detection of a seasonal zinc exceedance at an active mine site in time to manage sequestration and discharge.
Built to run itself
Self-cleaning, self-calibrating, one reagent — and a ~15-minute daily check is all it asks of your operators.
