Leachate Isolation
Maximize uptime in your leaching operations with enduring isolation valve technology designed to excel in corrosive media.
Ensure Environmental Protection With Corrosive Media Isolation
In the solvent extraction (SX) process, there is a continuous flow of leachate from leach pads to the SX plant. Isolation valves are installed on these lines to isolate the leaching solution, raffinate, and/or pregnant solution for maintenance purposes. Valves must resist the corrosive media and perform on demand with zero leakage isolation to secure the safety of personnel and the environment.

Leachate Isolation Frequently Asked Questions
A leachate isolation valve is designed to safely contain and distribute leachate through a network of pipes to evenly distribute the solution across a target leach pad. Reliable operation of valves is critical to ensure desired coverage of the pad for maximum mineral recovery.
These valves operate in extremely harsh conditions, where they must withstand corrosive media, prevent clogging from sediment buildup, and perform reliably on demand in remote locations.
By effectively managing leachate, these valves help prevent environmental contamination, enable safe storage and treatment of hazardous liquids, and support compliance with environmental regulations, contributing to more responsible and sustainable operations.
Isolating leachate lines is essential for protecting workers during operations and maintenance, enabling control over distribution of solution across the leach pad, all of which contribute to safer and more reliable system performance.
