Precious Minerals and Mining
Alfa Laval has a range of equipment to optimize key processes such as separation and heating and cooling in the beneficiation, leaching and extraction of precious mineral ores including gold, platinum and silver. Our solid-liquid separation can be used in various process steps including dewatering of ore concentrates. Importantly, this technology is a proven alternative to manage tailings safely and cost effectively without the use of dams.
Robust technology designed for tough mining applications
- Optimal operation performance with minimal intervention
- High volume capacities with smaller foot-prints save space
- Contained processes resulting in clean and safe working conditions
- Maximize recovery of valuable products, water and waste heat
- Water re-use helps boost operational sustainability
Our solid-bowl decanter centrifuges increase separation efficiency by cutting lifecycle costs and helping to minimize environmental impact. They can be used to replace or complement existing solutions (such as thickeners, sedimentation dams, filters, etc.) and will help boost capacity and save space.
In addition, our heat exchangers are a proven design for heating and cooling duties in a number of precious mineral processing applications.
