I'm in the process of designing/researching the removal of TDS from a stormwater pond at a mining facility. The facility that I'm working on is pumping mine water to a stormwater pond. TSS settles in the forebay, however, TDS (currently a stained, greenish tint in the water) is present in the forebay, the pond, and at the discharge. Google search, stormwater handbooks, referencing other facilities indicates there isn't much information available regarding the removal of TDS. From what I've found, it appears my options may be: 1. Flocculation/chemical additive. 2. Subsurface discharge. 3. Larger pond to promote percolation/evaporation.
Does anyone have any input or dealt with TDS?
