Leadville Drain
A large scale pilot plant was operated at the drainage tunnel near Leadville, Colorado
A large scale pilot plant was operated at the drainage tunnel near Leadville, Colorado. The primary contaminating metals in the drainage were copper and zinc. During the pilot test, a 100,000 gallon quantity of contaminated mine drainage water was Octolig MRP treated. The average influent and effluent concentrations were:New Page 1
Metal Untreated Water Octolig Treated Water
Cu 12.5 ppm .29 ppm
Zn 7.2 ppm .50 ppm
This plant-scale pilot test proves that Octolig treatment reduces heavy metal concentrations to concentrations of parts per billion.
