Enhance Recovery and Reduce Losses
Improve consistency and yield in heap leach and SX/EW operations
Effective heap leaching depends on precise irrigation, stable chemical balance, and continuous performance monitoring across expansive sites. Smart automation and rugged control technologies optimize leach pad performance, manage reagent dosing, and monitor extraction processes in real time—reducing metal losses and supporting operational sustainability.
Heap Leaching Solutions in Action
From leach pad distribution to electrowinning tanks, consistent operation and metal recovery require accurate monitoring and flexible control strategies. Advanced digital solutions provide operators with actionable insights, enabling faster responses to process changes and avoiding downtime. Rugged field instrumentation, secure wireless networks, and scalable control systems deliver measurable improvements in safety, productivity, and recovery.
Improve Consistency Across the Leach Pad
Enhance leach pad performance with real-time monitoring and control solutions that optimize irrigation rates and ensure even distribution of leaching agents. By preventing under- or over-irrigation, you can maintain optimal moisture levels, improve metal recovery, and reduce operating costs. Achieve greater consistency and efficiency across heap leaching operations while minimizing environmental impact.
Maintain Chemical Balance and Improve Efficiency
Optimize solvent extraction and electrowinning (SX/EW) processes with advanced control strategies that maintain chemical balance, reduce variability, and enhance recovery efficiency. Improve visibility across leaching, extraction, and electrowinning stages to drive consistent product quality, increase throughput, and minimize reagent consumption.
