Industries We Serve

Aureon works with industrial clients across sectors where water is critical to operations. We focus on environments where reliability, compliance, and efficiency directly impact performance - particularly where decentralised solutions are required to operate effectively in remote or infrastructure-constrained locations.

 

Call To Action

MINING & RESOURCES

Mining operations generate some of the most complex water challenges in any industry. From process water supply and acid mine drainage to tailings management, sulphate removal, and regulatory discharge requirements. The remote locations typical of African mining projects add further constraints around infrastructure, logistics, and operational self-sufficiency.

 

Aureon supports mining clients across the full water cycle:

  • Process water supply: Treatment of groundwater, surface water, and recycled streams for use in processing operations.
  • Mine water treatment: Removal of sulphates, heavy metals, nitrates, hardness, and other contaminants from mine-affected water.
  • Wastewater and effluent management:  Treatment to meet discharge consent and environmental compliance requirements.
  • Tailings water recovery: Dewatering and water extraction to support dry-stack tailings and reduce tailings dam risk.
  • Zero liquid discharge (ZLD): Closed-loop systems that eliminate liquid discharge entirely where regulatory or environmental requirements demand it.
  • Sludge and solids management: On-demand dewatering, centrifuge services, and mobile processing on a rental or contract basis - no capital expenditure required.
  • Community water supply: Potable water provision for mine workers, contractors, and surrounding communities as part of CSR and social licence commitments.

 

Our approach is modular and deployment-focused. Systems are designed to be operational quickly, maintained locally, and scaled as operations grow.

MINING & RESOURCES

Water is fundamental to mining operations, from processing to dust suppression and site management. Remote locations and complex water conditions create operational challenges.


Aureon supports mining clients in securing process water, treating wastewater, and managing complex streams, ensuring reliable operations and regulatory compliance.

INDUSTRIAL & MANUFACTURING

Industrial facilities face a dual challenge: securing reliable water supply for production processes while managing increasingly complex wastewater and discharge obligations. Downtime caused by water system failure carries direct production costs, and regulatory penalties for non-compliant discharge are rising across African jurisdictions.

 

Aureon delivers water and wastewater solutions that keep industrial operations running:

  • Process water treatment: High-quality water supply for manufacturing, cooling, boiler feed, and cleaning applications.
  • Wastewater treatment and reuse: Treatment of effluent streams for safe discharge or internal reuse, reducing freshwater dependency.
  • COD, BOD, and ammonia reduction:  Biological and chemical treatment of high-strength industrial effluent.
  • Hardness and TDS control: Ion exchange and membrane systems to protect equipment and meet process specifications.
  • Sludge dewatering: Mobile centrifuge and dewatering services available on a rental model, reducing capital outlay and providing on-call capacity for peak volumes or planned maintenance.
  • Emergency and interim solutions: Rapidly deployable systems to maintain continuity during plant upgrades, shutdowns, or unexpected equipment failure.

 

We work across food and beverage processing, chemical manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, paper and pulp, and general manufacturing.

ENERGY (OIL, GAS & POWER)

Energy operations, whether upstream oil and gas, midstream processing, or power generation, produce large volumes of complex water streams that require treatment before reuse or discharge. Produced water, cooling water blowdown, and chemical-laden process streams each present distinct treatment challenges, often in remote or operationally demanding environments.

 

Aureon provides:

  • Produced water treatment: Removal of hydrocarbons, suspended solids, dissolved salts, and contaminants for reinjection or surface discharge.
  • Sulphate and scaling control: Prevention of reservoir souring and scaling in injection water systems.
  • Cooling water management: Treatment to reduce corrosion, scaling, and biological fouling in power plant and refinery cooling systems.
  • Desalination and water supply: Freshwater production for remote energy installations without reliable water access.
  • Wastewater and effluent compliance: Treatment of site wastewater to meet discharge and environmental permit requirements.
  • Mobile and modular solutions:  Containerised systems for temporary or permanent deployment at upstream sites, refineries, and power facilities.

ENERGY (OIL, GAS & POWER)

Energy operations generate complex water streams and often operate in remote or constrained environments.


Aureon provides solutions for produced water, wastewater treatment, and water reuse — supporting operational performance and environmental compliance.

AGRICULTURE & FOOD PROCESSING

 Water scarcity is increasingly affecting agricultural productivity across Sub-Saharan Africa, while food processing operations face growing pressure to reduce freshwater consumption and manage effluent responsibly. Both sectors require reliable, cost-effective water management that can operate at the scale and remoteness typical of African agri-business.

 

Aureon supports:

  • Irrigation water treatment: Removal of salinity, pathogens, and contaminants from groundwater and surface water sources for safe agricultural use.
  • Food processing effluent treatment: Management of high-strength organic wastewater from abattoirs, dairy, brewing, and produce processing operations.
  • Water reuse: Treatment of process water for safe reuse in cleaning, cooling, or irrigation, reducing freshwater abstraction and operating costs.
  • Nutrient recovery: Phosphate removal and recovery from agricultural wastewater, reducing environmental impact and creating recoverable value.
  • Borehole and surface water treatment: Potable and process-grade water supply for remote agricultural facilities and processing plants.

DATA CENTRES 

The rapid expansion of data centre infrastructure across Africa driven by cloud adoption, fintech growth, and digital economy investment is creating significant demand for reliable water supply and efficient cooling water management. Water availability and quality directly affect cooling system performance and uptime, while discharge obligations are increasing as facilities scale.

Aureon supports data centre operators with:

  • Cooling water supply and treatment: High-quality water for evaporative cooling towers, including hardness control, biological treatment, and corrosion inhibition.
  • Water reuse and recycling: Closed-loop and partial-recycle systems that significantly reduce freshwater consumption and operating costs.
  • Wastewater and blowdown management: Treatment of cooling tower blowdown and other discharge streams to meet environmental requirements.
  • Decentralised water supply: Modular treatment systems for sites without reliable municipal water access, particularly relevant for edge data centres and greenfield developments in infrastructure-constrained locations.

Rapid growth in infrastructure is increasing demand for reliable water supply and efficient cooling systems.


Aureon supports water supply and reuse strategies that improve efficiency and reduce operational risk.
