ENERGY RECOVERY FROM MINES
Easy Hydro offers a complete range of small-scale and modular hydropower turbines which can be used for energy recovery from mines. Such turbines can be placed in a bypass of an existing valve, e.g. pressure reducing valves, control valves, tank inflow regulation valves.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
The mining sector and process industry need vast quantities of water and electricity with large associated CO2 emissions. At the same time, their internal water networks have locations in which an excessive pressure builds up and therefore needs to be dissipated by means of throttling/control/pressure reducing valves.
A typical application of the technology for energy recovery from mines consists of powering the turbine with the cooling water flowing downwards the main pit.
THE TECHNOLOGY
The type of turbine proposed is reliable and widely tested and consists of standard pumps running in reverse as turbines (PAT – Pumps As Turbines) which only cost a fraction of a conventional custom-made hydro turbine
BENEFITS
- Lower installation cost respect to a conventional hydro turbine
- Easy maintenance, same as a regular water pump
- Range of power output from 1 to 500+ kW, range of flows from 15 to 3,600 m3/h, range of pressure from 1 to 300 bar
VALUE
- Exploiting an untapped potential within existing mines and quarries
- Reducing the electricity needs and CO2 emissions of the mining industry
