Israeli Water Technology to the Australian Mining Sector 

Australia is a dry continent with competition for scarce water resources. Water is therefore a key 

business risk for top companies. From a broad Australian perspective, drought, over-allocation, 

inefficient water supply (loss driven) and climate change has resulted in a strong focus by many 

leading Australian companies on their water management solutions, and practical ways to address 

these critical issues. 

Mining companies require adequate water of the appropriate quality to operate as water is used 

across the business from exploration, mining, processing, smelting and refining. There are many 

challenges facing mining companies in Australia such as water treatment, protecting ground and 

surface water, tailing and brine management, evaporation enhancement and minimization, 

power-efficient desalination plants, linking power and water efficiencies to reduce greenhouse 

gas footprints, and economic modeling of value/cost of water management. 

Since its founding Israel has been coping with water scarcity and has been treating the subject as 

a national priority. The country has been constantly developing novel and efficient water and 

energy technologies, which can benefit the world as it is increasingly dealing with water and 

energy scarcity concerns. 

From the comprehensive management of water resources and water-saving irrigation technology 

to cost-saving purification, reclamation and desalination methods as well as water security 

solutions, Israel is leading the world in producing water technology for sustainable development. 

The Israel Trade Commission (ITC) will be hosting a delegation of Israeli water technology 

companies in Australia during the second quarter of 2010. The delegation will be focusing on 

Israeli water technology to the Mining industry and is aimed at introducing senior executives in 

the Australian mining industry to the many innovative technological solutions offered by Israeli 

companies to the water industry. The Trade Delegation continues the strong ties between the 

water industries in Australia and Israel and follows on from the delegation of Israeli water 

technology companies that attended OzWater in Melbourne in March 2009, and the previous 

Trade Mission to Israel in November 2009 led by The Hon. Phillip Costa MP, NSW Minister for 

Water & Regional Development, Dr Robyn McLeod, the South Australian Water Commissioner 

and Dr. Ian Chessell, the Chief Scientist of South Australia. 

Please find below the catalogue featuring leading Israeli companies, including a profile and 

information on each company that will be presenting. For more information or to schedule a 

meeting with any of the members of the delegation, please contact the Israel Trade Commission

Selection Process: 

To assist in the selection process, the Israel Trade Commission contracted an executive mining 

consultant (Gibson Associates) as a consultant to assist in hand-picking the most relevant 

companies for the Australian market. The selection process began with an initial pool of more 

than 300 relevant companies involved in water technology solutions. From this initial pool of 300 

companies, 35 were shortlisted to be interviewed in Israel by the specialist consultant. From this 

smaller group less than 20 were chosen to form the delegation of companies to visit Australia. 

The successful companies were selected specifically to meet the needs of the Australian mining 

industry and based on the following parameters: 

1. Proven and innovative solutions to dealing with water issues in the mining industry 

2. Previous track record in dealing with an international market 

3. Ability to support large scale projects in Australia 

The delegation was then broken into two groups: 

i. Established Companies 

ii. Start-Up Companies 

In particular, the selected Start-Up companies offer new and exciting breakthrough solutions that 

meet the current and emerging problems faced by those in the Australian mining industry.

Balltech designs and produces on-line cleaning systems for shell & tube heat exchangers / condensers. The BallTech ® system 

is protected patent and the only maintenance-free online cleaning system with proven success over 14 years in thousands of 

installations worldwide and in Australia. Using hydro-mechanical principles, the BallTech ® system circulates sponge balls 

through the condenser tubes at pre-set intervals. Balls are injected into the cooling water upstream of the heat exchanger and 

collected downstream in a special trap. They’re then returned to the injector for next cycle. The cycle performs at 30-minute 

intervals. Because the balls are 1 mm larger than the condenser tubes’ internal diameter, they continually polish the tubes’ 

internal surfaces insuring perpetually clean tubes.

Company's Name – P2W 

Year Of Establishment – 


Website – www.p2w.co.il 


P2W offer two main technologies. First, the heavy-metal elimination system induces sedimentation and removes heavy metal 

ions from the wastewater, without using any chemicals. Different metals typically present in industrial wastewater in dangerous 

concentrations are dealt with simultaneously. 

The second part is the cyanide system that oxidizes the cyanides and thus liberates nascent ozone, nascent chloride and their 

respective hydroxyl radicals. The results are carbon dioxide and nitrogen. No other technology today is capable of doing that 

while using no chemical reagents and producing no sludge. 

The possible applications are many and varied: cyanides are among the heaviest pollutants produced by the electronics, 

electroplating, etching, processing of printed circuit boards and other industries using chromium, nickel, zinc, gold and other 

metal plating processes. The cyanides problem also exists in the gold and silver mining industry and in several other sectors. 

Exposure to cyanides can be life-threatening and irreversible, so the problem of getting rid of them is increasingly urgent for 

thousands of industrial plants worldwide. 

Value Offered to Mining Sector 

The latest and most promising breakthrough achieved by P2W is the ability to offer an unprecedented solution for getting rid of 

toxic waste. The most widely-used methods in developed countries are either disposal of waste in special landfills or 

incineration. These methods are not very reliable, and they increase the risk for soil and atmosphere pollution. P2W makes the 

post-decontamination sludge of heavy metals usable as a raw material in the manufacturing of building materials – e.g., 

ceramics plants can be modified for such utilization of the sludge. In addition, P2W offer valuable for solutions gold, nickel, and 

zinc mining, by extracting the cyanide in the mining process.

Company's Name – Emefcy 



Website – www.emefcy.com 


Emefcy develops commercial scale Microbial Fuel Cells for wastewater treatment, which convert the organic contamination in 

the wastewater into green electricity or Hydrogen gas. A similar platform may be used in order to precipitate metals from 

wastewater, either chemically or bio-chemically. 

A fuel cell based process does not consume electricity; further more it produces electricity as a result of the electrochemical 

process. In treatment of organic matter, such as BOD or COD removal, microbial fuel cells offer a significant benefit in 

exceptionally low production of excess sludge – up to 80% reduction relative to conventional aerobic treatment processes. 

Therefore, microbial fuel cells offer savings in aeration energy, produce green electricity and significantly reduce the quantity of 

biological sludge to be disposed of at high cost. 

Emefcy offers R&D collaboration in order to customize fuel cell and microbial fuel cell technologies for managing discharge 

streams from mining operations in the most economical way, including: removal of COD, nitrates and/or heavy metals. 


Water treatment for heavily loaded industrial wastewater, and in applications where anaerobic treatment is not applicable

Company's Name – Leviathan Energy 



Website – www.leviathanenergy.com 


Major innovations in energy from large wind turbines, intermediate wind turbines, small wind turbines, hydroelectric, waves, and 

underwater turbines 


Startup, but we are in the middle of sales proposals for our product for large wind turbines to wind farms in India, sales of our 

hydroelectric turbine for municipalities in Israel and Italy, and are making early sales of our small wind turbine in Israel and 

elsewhere. 

Benefits to Mining Companies 

The products are major innovations in their fields and markets, whereby the cost -effectiveness of energy production is 

increased by 20 to several hundred percent. The common thread is a fresh look at the physics of the energy source, and 

structuring the flow of energy in order to hit the blades in the most advantageous manner, often using the discipline of 

computational fluid dynamics to design the systems. There are currently around 7 major product lines; we are concentrating on 

the three that are already in the sales process; the others require more research and development.

Company's Name – Vortex Ecological Technologies 



Website – www.vortex-envirotech.com 


Vortex Ecological Technologies develops superior systems for cleaning industrial flue gas and liquid from particles or gas 

pollutants. Based on its technology - Advanced Vortex Chamber (AVC) - Vortex has developed the superior cost-effective 

solutions for air-particles gases cleaning and hydro-Vortex for cleaning industrial fluids from solid particles. The company 

successfully deployed its high-margin products with prestigious industrial customers. 

Technology: 

Vortex technology utilizes the forces created by a vortex motion of either gas or fluid inside the patented AVC. As the stream of 

gas or fluid enters the spiral chamber it is accelerated into high velocity vortex. The physical force-patterns created by the flow 

separate the particles from either gas or fluid and absorb pollutant gases. 


Clean Marine AS in Norway got license to sell Vortex's chambers for worldwide marine applications. 

Partnership with a company in the Czech republic for Boilers applications. 

Partnership with company in Norway for drilling mud applications 


The technology offers solutions to deal with extracting dust from air in order to create a dust free environment for better 

performance from both human operators and general equipment. Previous projects have included R&D for Zinc mine in Norway, 

and a study for a Coal mine in Serbia.
