Thickeners are designed to separate processed solids for recirculation and reprocessing, or for distribution to tailings. In the thickener unit, valuable water is extracted from the slurry to reuse in other parts of the mining operation. The remaining solids material becomes concentrated for more efficient transfer to the tailings storage facility (TSF).
The following products are capable of providing zero leakage shutoff through high solids content slurry. These valves are engineered to excel in abrasive media for long lasting operation.
One of the challenges of commodity producers in general and mining companies in particular is that they have very little control over demand and pricing for their products. Individual producers benefit or suffer through up and down cycles, and find they really only have control over their own internal variables. These days, specialty metals and …
