DMI-65 by Quantum Filtration Medium Pty Ltd (QFM) applications

Access to safe drinking water is considered to be a basic human right. However, more than one-sixth of the world’s population, predominantly in developing countries, lack reliable access to such water. Customers complain to drinking water companies regarding incidents like taste, odour, colour, slime, low pressure and no supply of water. In the UK, it is estimated that one-third of all customer complaints concerning drinking water are related to water discolouration (Cook et al., 2005). These complaints greatly undermine customers’ confidence in water companies.

Miners often work in dry, remote areas, where environmental issues make water sourcing, use and disposal particularly problematic. With hard rock mines in particular using water in all steps of the mining process, from drinking water production, cooling equipment, separating waste from valuable minerals to controlling dust, working with such large volumes of water presents a variety of risks.
