Smarter water management in mining starts with a holistic view of how your operations uses water from sourcing to dewatering to reuse to everything in between. As regulation changes, mines are under more pressure than ever to control their use of natural resources and care for the planet, while ensuring profitability. Use and reuse of water can help mining reduce the impact on the planet.
The level of water in the sumps around a refinery should be reliably monitored to prevent overfilling and subsequently pollution or pump overload. In the past, legacy ultrasonic level sensors were unreliable after wash downs, when foaming chemicals entered the pits. The Rosemount 1208 are superior to ultrasonic technologies, as they are unaffected by foam, condensation or turbulence. Besides, the Rosemount 1208 can be paired to the Rosemount 3490 Controller, which enables mining to comply with regulation by having a continuous access to detailed data to share with authorities.
