Slurry optimisation

Our work with Murrin Murrin Operations demonstrates how our drag reduction technology can optimise thickened slurry transport and reduce water consumption in mineral processing plants.

Processing complex slurries

Emerging technology helping with rheological characterisation of complex slurries can improve processing and remove then need for a ‘dilution solution’

The mixology of slurry

Changes in fluid technologies are making it possible for slurry mixing operations to achieve the same results without using baffles, reducing the risk and cost of downtime due to maintenance or faults.

Optimising slurry transport

Slurry transport is a complex process involving multiple phenomena, with optimisation requiring deep understanding and clever solutions. By proactively addressing operational risks, you can optimise your processes for more effective slurry transport, resulting in reduced energy consumption and increased productivity.

Optimise slurry mixing tanks

Slurry mixing tanks are vital to any particulate processing, but there are high costs surrounding planned and unplanned maintenance. Read how we can help you optimise the performance of your slurry mixing tanks and potentially save you millions with Swirl Flow.
