This EPRI-sponsored summit is a forum for international collaboration in industrial water treatment applications. The event will bring together expert scientists and engineers to discuss current challenges to the Read more…
Enviromin’s Dr. Lisa Kirk and Katharine Seipel are chairing an Environmental Session at the 2019 SME conference in Denver. Surface placement of cemented-paste tailings- Promising technology or pie-in-the-sky? Effective tailings management requires consideration of operational design constraints, environmental protection, regulatory requirements, short- and long-term economics, and social expectations, as well as closure and remediation options. Placement of paste, and more recently cemented-paste, tailings in surface facilities has been proposed as an innovative technique for tailings Read more…
Enviromin is sad to announce that Kylie Bodle has left our team to pursue a PhD in environmental engineering at UC Davis. Kylie will be studying black soldier fly larvae growth on sewage sludge as a potential method of treatment in developing areas.We wish her all the best in her academic pursuits! Stay tuned for more staffing updates!
Enviromin is excited to participate in the 2018 Mine Design, Operations and Closure Conference at Fairmont Hot Springs next week! Drs Kirk and D’Imperio are presenting as part of the afternoon (classroom) portion of Monday’s field trip and will be discussing the microbiology of the Berkley Pit. Paul Williams, who recently joined Enviromin’s team, will give a presentation about the importance of dewatering predictions during mine design and permitting on Wednesday afternoon. Finally, on Thursday Read more…
