Valence Water Inc:
Frequently Asked Questions

The WaterMiner® platform is unique as it only takes a few minutes to start-up and reach expected performance. On average the start-up time is 10 minutes.

Valence Water's dual zone, electrocoagulation and electrooxidation technology is globally patented. Combining these electrochemical processes produces a powerful and efficient treatment process, capable of handling extremely contaminated waste streams. The active cathode and automated voltage gap control system, results in consistent and controllable treatment under varying influent conditions.

Yes. Influent passing through a fully equipped WaterMiner® platform results in effluent meeting tertiary disinfection standards, which can be reused in industrial applications such as washdown.

Solids that are generated from the WaterMiner® reactor are flocculated and separated by electroflotation in our sealed dual-cone clarifier.

Valence Water's solution to customers looking for an additional oxidation reactor to comply with stricter discharge limits and new organic contaminants. The OxiMiner™ is exclusively an electrooxidation reactor.

The automated, constant voltage gap control system allows the WaterMiner® reactor to consume over 99.5% of the metal anode before replacement is required.

The WaterMiner® is Valence Water's fully automated, continuous flow, electrocoagulation and electrooxidation water treatment platform. This packaged plant includes two reactors and a dual coned clarifier for solids removal. You can learn more about the WaterMiner® here.

Please contact us for your specific project requirements.

While raw data is always a great place to start, running your specific waste stream through our lab scale reactor will be the best determinate if we can offer a solution to you.

Yes. We would be happy to visit your site with a bench top version of our WaterMiner® platform to determine if Valence Water can be a solutions provider to you.

Quantities can vary between 40L and 400L. Please contact us to discuss your specific project requirements.

Yes. Valence Water can install platforms to add to or replace existing systems. Our minimal footprint requirements and versatility allows us to install containerized or skid mounted platforms just about anywhere.

The typical lead time for a WaterMiner® platform is 6-8 months. Please contact Valence Water Inc. if a more urgent request is required.

For a fully loaded WaterMiner® platform the typical power consumption is 1.5 – 2.5 kWh/m3 or 0.005 – 0.009 kWh/USG.

Valence Water takes pride in offering operator friendly systems with minimal maintenance and downtime requirements. With exception to our reactors, all equipment and instrumentation included in our platforms are standard in the wastewater industry. Depending on the nature of the wastewater and instrumentation involved some weekly maintenance is needed. The reactors themselves require no daily maintenance. Anode replacement is typically every 4-6 weeks with the procedure taking about an hour.

Our standard line of WaterMiner® platforms can handle flowrates of up to 500m3/day. Our platforms are modular in design and can be added in parallel to meet a client's flow requirements.

Once the WaterMiner® Platform has been delivered to site, you need only ever provide power, sacrificial anodes, and powdered flocculant to treat your incoming wastewaters.

Valence Water will provide operator training on site after commissioning is completed. As a part of our ReactorLink™ service, Valence Water Inc. is also available to provide semi-annual training and maintenance on an ongoing basis.

We will do our best to respond within 24 hours.
