Protect the Environment and Efficiency


For mining and open-pit mining, Hach ® is more than just a provider of world-class mining water measurement tools and testing solutions. We are a trusted partner for metals and mining that can help you identify site specific needs for mine discharge, adapt to constantly changing regulations and situations, and stay efficient while you minimize the environmental impact of mining. 

Since we began in 1947, we’ve been the go-to experts for water quality monitoring and analysis. From mining source water analysis to mine reuse water testing and mine discharge water compliance, we can provide the measurement tools and test kits to ensure accurate and timely readings. At the same time, we back our equipment with expertise. Our team of metals and mining water experts are on call to support your team.

We bring specific, time-tested solutions to monitor, analyze, and ultimately control critical contaminants and water hardness throughout the life cycle of water in your mining operation—from de-watering to discharge.

Featured Applications for the Metals and Mining Industry

 

Disinfection Monitoring for Health and Safety

Disinfection monitoring is a key aspect of environmental management in the mining industry. It helps to protect the environment, ensure the health and safety of workers and local communities, comply with regulations, and maintain good relations with the public With the RMC Disinfection Panel, Hach offers at time-saving total solution for online chlorine measurement with remote access to calibrate and adjust - without the hassle of being on site. This is ideal for remote mining sites, saves time and resources, and is extremely reliable thanks to continuously validated measurements.
