Mine water is rarely a standing problem. It is a deadline.
Mining water treatment from Townsville for sites across Queensland. A pit that needs drawing down before the wet, a discharge permit that will not accept the water you have, or a process circuit that stops when a consumable runs out. Eureka Water & Filtration works to those deadlines for mines, refineries and smelters.
Our people, containerised treatment equipment and consumable stock are in Townsville, and mobilise from here to sites across North Queensland and Australia. We also supply demineralised and pure water systems, and the resins, membranes, media and spares that keep them running.
Problems we solve on mine sites
Dewatering deadlines
Pit, tank and TSF drawdown treated to permit limits before the wet season.
Water that fails discharge limits

Mining FAQs
Do you work on mine sites outside North Queensland?
Yes. We are based in Townsville and mobilise our team and containerised equipment to mine sites across Australia.
Can you meet our site’s safety and induction requirements?
Yes. We complete site-specific SWMS and SOPs, inductions and permit-to-work processes before mobilising.
What mining water problems can you treat?
Pit and tank dewatering, TSF decant, heavy metal and molybdenum removal, camp drinking water, and closure and legacy water. Release limits in a site’s environmental authority are often based on the Australian and New Zealand water quality guidelines.
Do you supply filter cloths for mineral processing?
Yes. We make custom filter cloths to your equipment’s specification and hold them in Townsville stock.
Can you service cooling towers and heat exchangers on mine sites?
Yes. We refurbish cooling towers and service and rebuild heat exchangers for power, processing and refinery plant, including in Mount Isa and Cloncurry.
Need water treated or an asset back online?
Whether you face a dewatering deadline, a discharge limit or an unplanned outage, our Townsville team can scope it.
