How we can help

Reagents for solvent extraction, flotation, thickening and water treatment, plus the everyday bulk chemicals every plant runs on.

Extraction and separation

4 ranges

Solvent Extraction

Reagents for SX circuits that separate and concentrate metal values from leach solutions.

  • Extraction reagents
  • Circuit set-up and optimisation support

Flocculants

Settling aids for thickeners, clarifiers and tailings, so water returns to the plant faster.

  • Thickening and clarification
  • Dosage selection and optimisation

Antiscalants

Scale control that protects pipelines, pumps and process equipment.

  • Pipeline and equipment protection
  • Water circuit scale control

Acid Demisters & Acid Suppressants

Acid mist control for electrowinning and acid-handling areas.

  • Acid mist suppression
  • Safer working environment

Flotation

4 ranges

Frothers

Froth stability for consistent flotation performance.

  • Flotation froth control

Depressants

Selective depression of unwanted minerals to lift concentrate grade.

  • Grade improvement
  • Gangue control

Activators

Surface activation that improves collector response on target minerals.

  • Improved flotation response

Collectors

Collectors for sulphide and other flotation duties, including xanthates and PEG.

  • Xanthates
  • PEG
  • Other collectors on request

Off-the-shelf

1 range

Off-the-Shelf Chemicals

Everyday plant chemicals from one supplier, alongside your equipment and consumables.

  • Soda ash
  • Caustic soda
  • Lime
  • Sulphuric acid, sulphur and other chemicals

Chemicals are only as good as the dosing

We supply and integrate the dosing side too: automated polymer make-up units, flocculant and coagulant dosing skids, flow-paced and density-compensated control, and SCADA/PLC integration.

Our thickening services cover circuit optimisation, underflow rheology, overflow clarity and reducing reagent consumption through the right dosing strategy.
