    Summary

    Two water samples from Beacon Minerals water circuit were collected and analysed for all major water quality parameters. The analytical results for the water samples are summarised in Table 1. The accuracy of the analysis is dependent on the point of sampling therefore; samples collected are assumed to be representative of the system.

    The analytical data was processed using modelling software to determine the potential for mineral scale deposition. Table 2 provides a summary of the modelling results.

    - Magnesium carbonate is slightly supersaturated and therefore the likely hood for scale formation is marginal

    - No scaling tendency for sulphate as gypsum

    Process Water

    - Severe scaling predicted for carbonate based scaling as aragonite, calcite and magnesite. High saturation levels (above 1.0), the driving force for this scale to form increases as water is supersaturated.

    - Gypsum scale formation is likely to occur but condictions are not too severe.

    - Siderite, a mineral composed iron (II) carbonate is usually coexists with calcium carbonate scale in a system. Iron carbonate scale can be expected when the saturation level exceeds 1.2.

    - Iron may precipitate in the bulk water as iron hydroxide

    The following charts shown in figure 1 to 7 of the Appendix illustrate the effect of pH and temperature on the potential for mineral scale deposition from the water.

    Recommendation

    Analysis of the water chemistry data shows that carbonate scaling is predominant for Process water. In consideration of the current conditions for Process water, Freeflow MT-4851 is recommended to minimise the potential for scale deposition. Along with the visual scale probe inspections, regular monitoring of the circuit water characteristics should be carried out, to observe for any changes in water chemistry. The recommended antiscalant will provide the dispersancy of the detected scaling species and iron hydroxide levels detected in these set of results.
