Typical Applications in Mining & Metal Industry

Abrasive Slurry Transport

Mining and mineral processing plants often transport ore slurry, concentrate, tailings slurry, and process water through long pipelines and pumping systems. These media may contain high solids content and abrasive particles, making stable flow and pressure measurement important for preventing blockages, pump overload, and unplanned downtime.

Common Measurement Needs:

  • Flow measurement for ore slurry, concentrate, tailings slurry, and process water
  • Pressure monitoring to prevent pipeline overpressure and pump overload
  • Level measurement in slurry tanks, sumps, and storage vessels

Recommended Instruments:
Abrasive-resistant electromagnetic flowmeter · Pressure transmitter · Level transmitter

Flotation & Chemical Dosing

Flotation and leaching processes rely on controlled reagent dosing to improve mineral recovery and reduce chemical waste. Reagents such as frothers, collectors, flocculants, acids, and alkalis require stable flow, pressure, and level monitoring for accurate dosing, safe storage, and consistent process control.

Common Measurement Needs:

  • Flow measurement for flotation reagents, acids, alkalis, and process water
  • Pressure monitoring in dosing, mixing, and reagent transfer lines
  • Level monitoring in chemical storage tanks and dosing vessels

Recommended Instruments:
Corrosion-resistant electromagnetic flowmeter · Coriolis flowmeter · Pressure transmitter · Level transmitter

Tailings & Process Water Management

Tailings systems and process water circuits handle slurry discharge, recycled water, and wastewater from mineral processing. Reliable flow, pressure, level, and water quality monitoring helps improve water reuse, support safe tailings handling, and meet site environmental requirements.

Common Measurement Needs:

  • Flow measurement for tailings slurry, recycled water, and process water
  • Pressure monitoring in tailings pipelines, pumps, and return water lines
  • Level measurement in tailings ponds, sumps, and process water tanks
  • pH, conductivity, turbidity, TSS/SS, or chlorine monitoring for water quality control

Recommended Instruments:
Electromagnetic flowmeter · Pressure transmitter · Radar level transmitter · Hydrostatic level transmitter · pH/EC sensor · Turbidity sensor · TSS/SS sensor · Chlorine sensor
