In the solvent extraction (SX) process, there is a continuous flow of leachate from leach pads to the SX plant. Isolation valves are installed on these lines to isolate the leaching solution, raffinate, and/or pregnant solution for maintenance purposes. Valves must resist the corrosive media and perform on demand with zero leakage isolation to secure the safety of personnel and the environment.
The following products are capable of providing zero leakage shutoff of leachate lines. These valves are engineered for long lasting performance in corrosive environments such as leach pads.
Mining and refining copper into the purity required poses safety, efficiency, and reliability challenges for global miners.
