Reducing water usage
to meet a changing landscape
Water is essential for mining operations - but it is one of the most challenging
resources to manage. Increasing scarcity, higher cost, and associated risks
meant a step change in dewatering technology was needed.
With a determined commitment to sustainable
productivity, we help our clients solve complex
challenges, such as the need for larger dewatering
equipment. In order to accommodate huge
volumes of tailings, while ensuring operating and
fi nancial benefi ts, we developed the FLSmidth
AFP-IV™ Colossal™ fi lter. Installation at a mining site
in Chile has resulted in a 70% reduction in water
intake enabling 90% of processed water to be
reused. Our innovative thinking and breakthrough
technology help our clients’ investments work
harder. We can help you achieve more with less.
