More than ten years ago, back in 2014, we noticed that we were receiving large orders for some of our membrane care products from gold mines in Peru. This got us thinking and we began to carry out initial research into the use of water purification membranes in the mining industry.
With environmental regulations strengthening and high profile stories hitting the news of tailing pools failing, we realized that this issue needed urgent attention.
While mine operators were increasingly turning to reverse osmosis to treat mine water, we discovered they were facing complex water chemistry challenges. These were often not just unique to the mining industry but to each individual site.
In August 2017 we received a £500,000 grant from the UK Government’s Innovate UK fund to take our research to the next level. As a result we have been able to develop new antiscalant and cleaning products designed specifically for membrane plants used to extract metals from mine water and clean it for reuse or release into the environment.
Working closely with mining operators and our international network of distribution partners, we also develop bespoke products and membrane care regimes to help individual mines tackle particular problems.
Using the wrong membrane cleaner can lead to increased plant downtime, ineffective foulant removal, and (in extreme cases) membrane failure. Genesys offers expert guidance and a diverse range of cleaning solutions tailored to different fouling challenges. Whether you’re dealing with organic fouling, biofilm accumulation, or inorganic scaling, our team can recommend the ideal cleaner for your specific application. We always recommend a membrane autopsy to ensure foulant deposits are correctly identified.
You can trust in the reliability and efficacy of our products to keep your RO systems operating at peak performance. Explore our comprehensive range of membrane chemicals today and unlock the full potential of your membrane systems.
We specialize in producing specialty chemicals and offering membrane testing services that allow reverse osmosis (RO) plants to operate efficiently in areas where feed waters are challenging.
