Heavy Slurry Tailings Dams - Mining

Project: Dealing with Heavy Slurry in Tailings Return Dams – Mining

Company: Pump Care WA

Product: 1 x SupaVac SV60 and 1 x SupaVac SV110-V

Rental of the SupaVac SV60 leads to purchase of the SV110V

Pump Care WA, approached SupaVac with a mining company 400ks north of Kalgoorlie due to experiencing difficulties on site over a long period of time. The issues that Pump Care faced was having 4 X tailings return dams, with deposits from the waste that had a PH of 9 with sodium hydroxide used in the process and fines down to 10 microns.

When the sunlight and the mixture combined it formed a solid crust on top wetting the slurry under the crust. SupaVac provided a working demonstration on a SV60 rental unit which made our customer more than happy with the portable slurry pump performance, so Pump Care opted to rent the unit for a month to continue trialling the SV60 capabilities.

With the end user and Pump Care exceptionally pleased with the progress, Pump Care then purchased a SupaVac SV110-V (similar capabilities with a greater volume coverage) while extending the rental of the SupaVac SV60 for a further two months, in addition to investing in more units for their other three dams!
