In an article published in the January 2013 issue of Water Active, Mike Deed considers the problems of iron oxide and iron bacteria contamination and how to overcome them using the BoreSaver range of well cleaning and borehole rehabilitation treatments. One company that has overcome the problems of iron oxide and iron bacteria contamination with the help of BoreSaver treatments is Yuasa Batteries. World leaders in valve regulated lead acid battery design and manufacturing Yuasa produce over 500,000 batteries a year at their Ebbw Vale plant and employ more than 350 people.
Mike Deed, Managing Director of Geoquip Water Solutions, is the author of an interesting article on Groundwater Asset Management in Mining that appeared in the December issue of Geodrilling International. The article focuses on the importance of implementing a regular maintenance programme to control borehole contamination and keep systems running efficiently. A case study of the Telfer gold-copper mines in Australia forms part of the article and includes information on the results of Newcrest well-field management process and the difference using BoreSaver made to the efficient operation of their wells.
Mike Deed, Managing Director of Geoquip Water Solutions, is the author of Talking Point in the October issue of Groundwater Engineering. He focuses on the huge benefits of installing a geothermal system and the importance of building in a maintenance programme at the outset to achieve the maximum potential from that system. He goes on to outline some of the problems that could compromise a geothermal system including mineral contamination and its effect on borehole yields and water flow.
Published in the May issue of International Mining, this article focuses on the problem of iron bacteria contamination in the water supply for the Tiwest Mine at Cooljarloo, Australia. Mines rely heavily on groundwater sources and the quality and flow of that water have both operational and regulatory implications. The problem of mineral and bacterial contamination in groundwater sources can cause serious system failure, increase costs and have legal consequences. Mike Deed from Geoquip Water Solutions outlines the need for regular maintenance of water supply systems to control bacterial growth and keep systems running efficiently.

Published in the April 2012 issue of Water21, the magazine of the International Water Association (IWA). Synopsis: Although geothermal systems can be very efficient for heating and cooling of buildings, the problem of mineral and bacterial contamination in the groundwater source can cause serious system failure. Mike Deed, Managing Director of Geoquip Water Solutions, outlines the need for regular maintenance of geothermal systems to control bacterial growth and keep systems running efficiently. The article includes a case study that focuses on the successful rehabilitation of a geothermal system in Lodi, Italy.
