Turnkey wastewater treatment for Russia’s largest mine: launch at SUEK-Kuzbass
For the V.D. Yalevsky mine — an industrial giant producing more than 30 million tonnes of coal per year — a mine-water treatment plant based on German ENVIROCHEMIE technology has been commissioned and brought to design capacity.
The scale of the project demanded an uncompromising engineering solution. Under a turnkey EPC contract, we delivered the full cycle: from process design and manufacture of nine modular units to supervision and personnel training. The facility has reached its design parameters.
Why this changes the industry
- Technological sovereignty and ecology. The first precedent in Russia of applying patented German technology specifically in the coal industry. During commissioning, our engineers customised the system for the actual chemistry of mine water, selecting optimal reagent doses. The plant now discharges water strictly within the stringent maximum permissible concentration (MPC) standards — the risk of multi-million fines is closed.
- OPEX economics. Automation, UV disinfection and energy-efficient pumps reduce reagent consumption. In 2026, resource efficiency is not a trend but a basic requirement for profitability.
- Speed and flexibility. The modular architecture means mobility. The solution shortens construction and installation time and allows capacity to be scaled quickly for new mining horizons.
The global water treatment market in mining is growing at a CAGR of around 9.8%. The launch of this facility confirms our expertise in delivering complex international technologies in Russia. We take responsibility for the entire life cycle — from drawing to design capacity.
