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.
Highly acidic conditions harm ecosystems and corrode infrastructure.
Iron, manganese, and other metals remain in soluble, toxic forms.
Neutralization requires continuous dosing of lime or alkalis.
Treatment processes produce large volumes of metal-laden sludge.
Uncontrolled AMD leads to ongoing contamination of water bodies.
THE NICO DRONA SOLUTION
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.
Converts dissolved metals into precipitable forms for removal.
Accelerates remediation processes and reduces retention time.
Lowers reliance on continuous neutralization chemicals.
Improves settling and handling of generated sludge.
Supports safer discharge and long-term ecosystem recovery.
