The water employed in the operation of the pipeline that transports iron ore from Minas Rio to São João da Barra is set to be reused.
Anglo American has announced plans to reuse the water that is employed in the operation of the pipeline that transports iron ore from its Minas Rio operation located in the Conceição do Mato Dentro municipality in southeastern Brazil to the port in São João da Barra, located further east.
The filtration process, however, generates effluent that is treated and then released into the ocean. Back in September, the first operational test of the water reuse project was carried out. Approximately 2,000 cubic meters of water were reused in low-impact activities such as sprinkling coal piles, thus confirming the operational viability of the initiative and the possibility of substituting new, high-quality water currently used for such purposes, with the effluent.
The new strategy, carried out in partnership with the firm Ecovias do Araguaia, aims to find a new use for a waste product, reduce the environmental impact of the Barro Alto and Codemin operations and shrink the area needed to store waste.
