Mining & environmental solutions for mining, tailings & water treatment solutions - Mining

KESS decanter centrifuges provide continuous solid-liquid separation at the front end of the process, stabilizing flow conditions and enabling efficient water reuse.

• Reduces slurry volume and protects downstream equipment;
• Recovers clarified water for washing and conveying circuits;
• Handles high-solids, abrasive, and variable feed conditions;
• Integrates with automatic dosing and flocculation systems.

In grinding, flotation, and separation processes, valuable minerals are suspended in fine, high-solids slurry. High residual moisture creates challenges for transport, storage, and further processing.

KESS centrifuges deliver efficient dewatering and fine particle recovery, increasing concentrate solids content while minimizing valuable mineral losses.

• Improves overall recovery rate and product quality;
• Reduces water consumption across the plant;
• Heavy-duty design for continuous, abrasive-duty operation;
• Custom solutions for copper, gold, iron, coal, and polymetallic ores.

Traditional tailings dams require large land areas and pose long-term environmental and safety risks. Modern mining increasingly adopts dry stacking and volume reduction strategies.

Working with thickeners and dosing systems, KESS centrifuges transform tailings slurry into stackable, low-moisture material while recovering process water.

• Reduces tailings volume and disposal footprint;
• Enables water recovery for plant reuse;
• Stable operation under high-density and variable feed conditions;
• Modular systems for high-capacity and parallel installations.

Mine water often contains suspended solids, heavy metals, and chemical residues, including acidic components from sulfide oxidation. Untreated discharge can cause serious environmental and regulatory risks.

KESS separation systems provide high-efficiency clarification and sludge dewatering, supporting AMD treatment and advanced wastewater processes.

• Efficient removal of ultra-fine precipitates and solids;
• Produces low-moisture sludge for easier handling and disposal;
• Improves reliability of downstream treatment systems;
• Supports compliant discharge and water reuse.
