Abstract

In conditions of constant expansion of surface coal mining and increasingly stringent requirements to the environmental condition in the coal mining areas, the problem of integrated treatment of the collected open pit wastewater has recently become very acute. The conventional treatment technology implies two stages. i.e. the primary gravitational treatment in settling ponds and the subsequent additional treatment in dedicated modules that utilize the processes of the reactant, sorption, membrane and other technologies. The selected set of modules to be used and their productivity should be determined depending on a number of factors of both technological and economic nature. The developed flowchart of the automatic process control system of the post-treatment plant allows determining the list of modules to be used and the degree of their utilization depending on the current conditions, thus reducing the operating costs of the plant while maintaining the quality indicators of treatment, which will be defined by the utilization of the treated wastewater.

Keywords

Open pit wastewater, automatic control system, process module, modular structure, structure of automated control system.
