CustoSperse™ Rheology Modifiers / Mineral Slurry Pumping Additives for Mining

In many mining operations, mineral slurries must be pumped great distances, as is often the case with the transfer of phosphate concentrate to the phosphoric acid chemical plant hundreds of miles away. This can be a very costly process due to the energy required to move the slurry or dilution.

CustoSperse™ rheology modifiers / mineral slurry pumping additives are custom formulated for specific ore types to optimize the slurry pumping, transportation and wet grinding mining processes. They modify the flow properties of the mineral slurry, reducing the energy required to make the slurry mobile and ensuring good flow over long distances. They also assist in preventing or reducing the cementation process which can occur in the slurry pipeline during plant downtime or during mineral transportation in drums.

Let us help you select and plant-test the best rheology modifiers / mineral slurry pumping additives for your process. We will work closely with you to ensure a successful outcome for your project.
