3-Tailings Dewatering and Dry Stacking Systems

4-Tailings Dewatering and Dry Stacking Systems

1-Slurry Pre-Treatment and Mud Management

During mining and material handling, large volumes of high-abrasion, high-moisture slurry are generated. Without effective pre-treatment, these slurries can overload downstream systems, increase water consumption, and accelerate equipment wear.

KESS Solution:

KESS decanter centrifuges provide continuous solid-liquid separation at the front end of the process, stabilizing flow conditions and enabling efficient water reuse.

Key Benefits:
  • Reduces slurry volume and protects downstream equipment;
  • Recovers clarified water for washing and conveying circuits;
  • Handles high-solids, abrasive, and variable feed conditions;
  • Integrates with automatic dosing and flocculation systems.

2-Mineral Processing and Concentrate Dewatering

In grinding, flotation, and separation processes, valuable minerals are suspended in fine, high-solids slurry. High residual moisture creates challenges for transport, storage, and further processing.

KESs Solution:

KESS centrifuges deliver efficient dewatering and fine particle recovery, increasing concentrate solids content while minimizing valuable mineral losses.

Key Benefits:
  • Improves overall recovery rate and product quality;
  • Reduces water consumption across the plant;
  • Heavy-duty design for continuous, abrasive-duty operation;
  • Custom solutions for copper, gold, iron, coal, and polymetallic ores.

3-Tailings Dewatering and Dry Stacking

Traditional tailings dams require large land areas and pose long-term environmental and safety risks. Modern mining increasingly adopts dry stacking and volume reduction strategies.

KESS Solution:

Working with thickeners and dosing systems, KESS centrifuges transform tailings slurry into stackable, low-moisture material while recovering process water.

Key Benefits:
  • Reduces tailings volume and disposal footprint;
  • Enables water recovery for plant reuse;
  • Stable operation under high-density and variable feed conditions;
  • Modular systems for high-capacity and parallel installations.

4-Mine Water and Environmental Protection

Mine water often contains suspended solids, heavy metals, and chemical residues, including acidic components from sulfide oxidation. Untreated discharge can cause serious environmental and regulatory risks.

KESS Solution:

KESS separation systems provide high-efficiency clarification and sludge dewatering, supporting AMD treatment and advanced wastewater processes.

Key Benefits:
  • Efficient removal of ultra-fine precipitates and solids;
  • Produces low-moisture sludge for easier handling and disposal;
  • Improves reliability of downstream treatment systems;
  • Supports compliant discharge and water reuse.
