In the mining industry, there is an urgent need to remove metals from wastewater – is the AVS vortex layer device technology capable of working with large volumes?

Yes – AVS (vortex layer) technology can be applied to large volumes, but it’s important to think of it as an intensification reactor, not a “single giant filter.” The working zone is very intense, so required residence times are usually short (seconds to tens of seconds), which supports high throughput. Scaling is typically done by larger-flow reactors and, more realistically, by running multiple units in parallel to keep the same hydrodynamics and treatment quality. For mining wastewater, the real volumetric capacity will depend on your chemistry (pH/reagents), solids load, target metals, and the downstream separation step (settling/DAF/filtration), because AVS accelerates reactions but you still need to remove the formed precipitate.
