OTTAWA, Sept. 27, 2017
/CNW/ - BluMetric Environmental Inc. (TSXV: BLM), an Ottawa-based cleantech company, has signed a
$1.03 million contract with a major
global mining company to supply, install, commission, and provide
operator training for a mine-water treatment system for a remote
hematite mine site located in Northern
Quebec.
Highlights of the Contract:
- BluMetric will provide the client with a multi-stage
physical/chemical treatment system to sequentially remove
antagonistic contaminants in a fully containerized, customized
solution treating the mine-water.
- BluMetric developed and has successfully employed this process
at several other mine sites where a high-quality effluent was
required. This system was custom designed for this client to
overcome the influent and effluent conditions at this remote and
climatically challenging site.
- The containerized system is well adapted to the area's northern
climate, with a plug-and-play and user-friendly configuration.
- The client's work program involves mining, crushing, washing,
screening, and drying run-of-mine ore in a state-of-the-art
facility.
- In addition to the water treatment unit, BluMetric will provide
comprehensive commissioning support and training for the operating
team for most of the first season.
"This project comes out of our strategy of developing
custom-tailored mine-water treatment systems for use in
environments that are often compounded by extreme conditions and
complex water chemistry," said Byron
O'Connor, BluMetric's Director of Engineering. "BluMetric is
very well-positioned to help mining clients successfully and
cost-effectively face such challenges relying on our specialized
knowledge base in hydrology, hydrogeology, occupational health and
safety, and compliance."
"This new contract is an example of the successful culmination
of a collaborative effort between the Professional Services and
Systems Delivery groups," said Roger
Woeller, CEO of BluMetric. "Our professional experience
in remote territories and our understanding of the associated
environmental issues relating to mining served as a base, on which
we built using our process knowledge and our willingness to act as
a partner with our client. We have brought to bear every aspect of
our company from field experience, research, engineering, finance,
and customer service in this instance. This contract validates our
sales approach to provide complete environmental solutions to our
clients."
