Challenges In Acid Mine Drainage Management

Acid mine drainage is characterized by low pH, high metal concentrations, and persistent contamination, making treatment complex and resource-intensive. Conventional approaches often rely heavily on chemicals and struggle with long-term stability.

Low pH & High Acidity

THE NICO DRONA SOLUTION

Accelerated Oxidation. Stabilized Water Chemistry.

The DRONA system introduces ultra-fine oxygen and ozone nanobubbles that enhance oxidation of
dissolved metals and improve reaction kinetics in acidic environments.

This supports faster conversion of metals into removable forms, improves treatment efficiency, and reduces overall
chemical dependency, enabling more stable and sustainable AMD remediation.
