Tailings
Mining dams pose a substantial risk, and residue management clearly needs to change. Alfa Laval is leading that transformation. The robust design and large capacity of our solid-bowl decanter centrifuges have proven the perfect solution for safe and secure dewatering of mine tailings. The small footprint substantially reduces installation space. The consistency of the solids fraction is perfect for co-disposal or dry stacking. And you recover large volumes of water for reuse.
Ensuring a fast, continuous process for safe, clean and efficient solid-liquid separation
- High capacity and separation efficiency with optimal solids dryness
- Long working life
- Designed for high-density sludge
- Compact design and small installation area
- Easy to scale-up capacities from test results
The proven design and performance of Alfa Laval decanter centrifuges are based on decades of research and development in challenging solid-liquid separation applications. The unique bowl geometries, exceptional solids handling rates and robust design combine to set new standards in mining tailings management. The Alfa Laval decanter is wear-resistant, made with high-grade materials to withstand harsh environment of erosion and corrosion.
