WATER TREATMENT & MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS

BENCH & PILOT TESTING

Linkan is unique in that we self-perform all bench and pilot testing for our projects. We recognize that water treatment is not a black box system simply purchased and installed. Each treatment solution must be carefully designed to meet the unique characteristics of the water, available infrastructure, and the client. 

Both Bench and Pilot Testing can be completed in our process laboratory located in Elko, Nevada, or with our fully modular pilot testing platform. Our pilot testing unit is outfitted with just about every water treatment process used in the mining industry today, runs completely stand-alone from the client’s facilities, and operates at a continuous flow of 3 gpm. 

FEASIBILITY STUDIES

Linkan conducts comprehensive feasibility assessments to assist mining and industrial companies to have a basis to make informed decisions about the implementation of water management strategies. We work with clients early on to ensure sustainable use of water resources, while minimizing adverse environmental effects and optimizing operational efficiency.

DETAILED DESIGN

Design

Three-dimensional design is critical to all the work that Linkan does. We design all our facilities in Navisworks by Autodesk and incorporate our subcontractor’s work through AutoCAD 3D or Revitt. Three-dimensional design is crucial to designing a plant with a safe and efficient layout and to ensure no surprise interferences/conflicts during construction. 
Our process allows our clients to regularly view the design by a virtual fly-through. Linkan minimizes design conflicts and enhances the ability to address field engineering questions using our three-dimensional design. Linkan has ample experience designing the following type of treatment technologies.

  

TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES

In addition to our current treatment technologies, we continuously explore the cutting edge and push boundaries to identify effective solutions. We are equipment-agnostic, committed to finding the optimal treatment process tailored to your specific needs.

PERMITTING

Linkan is adept at working in any permitting environment. We routinely work around the world in vastly different regulatory environments. Thoughtful evaluation of the regulatory climate and procedures is the first step in our work. Successful permitting derives from well-executed project scoping.

PROCUREMENT

In procurement, attention to detail is crucial. While major equipment often takes the spotlight, we recognize that even the smallest components are essential. An absence can halt operations just as effectively as a major component. That's why we adhere to a meticulous, well-documented procurement strategy that ensures every piece of equipment arrives precisely when needed. 

Logistics are foundational to keeping procurement on a schedule. Our vendor relationships and international shipping expertise are fundamental to keeping a project on schedule and within budget.
