Mining Application
Tailings Pipeline, Pump & Spigot Isolation
Extend maintenance intervals and ensure environmental protection with valves engineered for high pressure and high solids tailings.
Maximize Mill Uptime With Reliable Tailings Management
Mill waste, or tailings, are abrasive and cause severe wear on piping components as they are collected and delivered to the tailings storage facility (TSF). Tailings applications often see the highest solids content slurry, and highest pipeline volume, and can have a wide range of pressures. Isolation valve performance and life span have a direct impact on mill throughput and operating costs.

Better Magnetic Flow Meter Sensors Increase Productivity
Based on many plant visits and discussions with Emerson customers, I have concluded that handling slurries is one of the biggest problems for operators and reliability teams. The most frequently mentioned issues are clogging and erosion, which certainly take their toll, but there is also a more subtle challenge related to measuring flow. Why slurries …
