Improving Operations

There are numerous challenges faced by mining operators each day, many of which can cause harm to equipment, employees, or both. From pumping shear sensitive chemicals for flocculation, abrasive lime slurries for pH control or corrosive chemicals like cyanide for gold recovery, each application has variables that add complexity to already harsh operating environments and a persistent threat of accidents.

Neptune™ offers a variety of metering pump and mixer solutions for mining applications to help alleviate the stresses associated with the safety of both mining personnel and the environment as a whole. Our pumps are the ideal solution for applications including flocculation of tailings, ore concentration, and process or wastewater coagulation for Coal, Copper, Gold and Phosphate mines.
