On May 5, 2022, one more part of the innovative system for the treatment of mining procedures saline effluents was transported to the LIFE Brine-Mining plant. The Multi Effect Distillation Evaporator was added to the project’s process train, in the town of Lędziny, in southern Poland, to recover clean water and concentrate NaCl solution. The Evaporator was connected to the other technologies and the first trials of the system’s operation were conducted! Technicians and members of the companies participating in the project (LENNTECH, THERMOSSOL, TITANSALT) and representatives of other project beneficiaries (GIG, SUT, NTUA, SEALEAU) were gathered at the site
