Floating platform --- One-stop solution for the reuse of acid mine drainage in tailings ponds
A project is located in Kolwezi, in the tropical savanna climate zone, with an average annual rainfall of 1219 mm and evaporation of 1968 mm, resulting in extremely scarce water resources. The tailings pond at the project site requires long-term treatment of acidic wastewater (pH 3-4). Efficient and safe recycling of production wastewater back to the production plant for reuse presents a significant challenge to both the project's environmental sustainability and economic viability.
Floating platform Technical highlights
For this project in the DRC's unique environment, we have designed a customized floating platform integrating four core advantages:
Corrosion resistance
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) floats and a stainless steel frame create a dense protective layer, resisting long-term corrosion from strong acids and alkaline water.
Equipment level balance
Heavy-duty equipment such as pumps and motors are positioned in the platform's center, ensuring the center of gravity is below the center of buoyancy. This, combined with anti-sway anchoring devices, maintains equipment level balance.
High applicability
A novel water intake system that efficiently transports media, unaffected by water level fluctuations.
High-temperature resistance
A cooling fan at the motor's tail end ensures efficient operation even at temperatures exceeding 33℃.

Floating platform—a one-stop solution for acidic water reuse in tailings ponds
A project is located in Kolwezi, in the tropical savanna climate zone, with an average annual precipitation of 1219 mm and evaporation of 1968 mm, and water resources are extremely scarce. The tailings pond selected for the project needs to treat acidic wastewater (pH 3-4) for a long time. How to efficiently and safely recycle production wastewater to the production plant for recycling has become a double test of the project's environmental protection and economy.
Floating platform Technical highlights
Considering the unique environment of the Democratic Republic of Congo, we have developed a customized floating platform with four core advantages:
Anti-corrosion
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) floats and stainless steel frames form a dense protective layer, resisting strong acid and long-term alkaline water erosion.
Equipment water balance
Heavy-duty equipment like pumps and motors are centrally located on the platform, ensuring the center of gravity is below the center of buoyancy. Anti-sway anchoring devices maintain equipment water balance.
High applicability
A new water intake system efficiently transports media, unaffected by water level fluctuations.
High temperature resistance
A cooling fan at the motor's end ensures efficient operation at temperatures above 33°C.
