As part of our sustainable Mining practices, the group has implemented High Rate Thickeners (HRTs) across all its operational sites to promote responsible water management and conservation. This green initiative is a major step towards reducing freshwater consumption and ensuring environmental compliance in all Mineral Processing activities.
High Rate Thickeners are advanced solid-liquid separation systems that efficiently treat and concentrate process slurry by allowing rapid sedimentation of solids. The clear water recovered through this process is then recycled and reused in various operations such as Mineral washing, Dust suppression, Drilling, and Equipment cleaning. This significantly reduces the need for freshwater intake from external sources.
By incorporating HRT technology, the group has been able to reclaim and reuse up to 99% of its process water, making operations more sustainable and cost-efficient. The initiative also minimizes slurry discharge, reducing the environmental impact on surrounding land and water bodies.
This investment reflects the group’s commitment to eco-friendly mining practices and long-term water security. It aligns with group’s broader vision of creating a circular water economy within its operations, setting an industry-leading example in Resource conservation, Innovation, and Environmental responsibility.
