The Water Challenge in Remote Operations

Mining and energy operations continue to expand into remote, water-stressed regions where access to clean water and wastewater treatment is severely limited. These sites must supply safe, daily-use water for drinking, hygiene, and food preparation while also managing the increasing volume of domestic wastewater generated by workers. Without effective on-site systems, companies face rising water hauling costs and greater risks to regulatory compliance, workforce health, and operational continuity.

Where On-Site Water Management Matters Most

Remote Mining Camps

In regions such as Western Australia and Chile’s Atacama Desert, mining companies operate large-scale camps that accommodate hundreds or even thousands of workers for extended periods. These self-contained sites generate significant volumes of wastewater from daily activities, including showers, laundry, food service, and sanitation. Traditional septic tanks and hauling methods are both costly and unsustainable, particularly over long distances.

Oil and Gas Installations

In high-density work zones such as the Permian Basin and Alberta’s Oilsands, companies face increasing pressure to manage water responsibly. Reliable treatment systems are essential not only to meet health and safety regulations but also to enable safe reuse in water-scarce environments where every drop matters.

Off-Grid Energy Projects

Renewable energy installations in developing regions often support both their workforce and the surrounding communities. In the absence of municipal infrastructure, these projects require decentralized wastewater systems that operate efficiently in remote, resource-limited environments.

From Waste to Resource: Miranda’s Water Solutions for Remote Workforces

Miranda delivers scalable systems that keep remote teams healthy, safe, and productive by ensuring sustainable water access wherever it is needed. Our technologies work together to treat wastewater, purify brackish or contaminated sources, and generate clean water from air—even in the most isolated environments. With reliable on-site water management, Miranda supports uninterrupted operations and improves living conditions for workforces in the field.

Miracell®

Miracell® is a modular biological treatment system designed to process domestic wastewater at the source, making it ideal for workforce camps in mining and energy operations. It treats greywater and blackwater from kitchens, showers, toilets, and laundry, converting it into reusable non-potable water for dust suppression, equipment cooling, or use in industrial processes.

In remote or off-grid project sites where traditional infrastructure is limited or unavailable, Miracell® offers a dependable on-site solution. It reduces the need for freshwater intake and wastewater hauling, helps meet regulatory and environmental standards, and supports ESG commitments while ensuring clean, functional living conditions for field personnel.

R/OCell®

R/OCell® is a compact reverse osmosis system that purifies brackish, saline, or contaminated water into clean water for drinking and hygiene. It is especially valuable in mining and energy operations where freshwater is limited and available sources are unsuitable for direct use.

Energy-efficient and easy to maintain, R/OCell® is ideal for remote deployment and pairs seamlessly with Miracell® to create a closed-loop water management system for workforce camps and project sites.

AtmoCell

AtmoCell is designed for the most remote and water-scarce environments. It extracts moisture from the air to produce clean drinking water, ensuring hydration in locations without access to groundwater, surface water, or supply lines. Fully self-sufficient and ideal for arid or desert regions, AtmoCell provides a critical layer of water security to keep operations running and workforces supported.

Water Solutions That Work Anywhere

The success of any mining or energy project depends on the health, safety, and well-being of its workforce. By managing domestic wastewater on-site, companies protect their people, meet regulatory requirements, and reduce their environmental footprint.

Miranda delivers scalable water infrastructure built for the demands of remote and rugged environments. Our systems grow with your project and support your team every step of the way.
