Event details (this event has concluded)
When: 9 - 11 May 2023
Where: Adelaide Convention Centre
Global demand for mining products continues to grow due to population growth, urbanisation and the energy transition. By dewatering waste streams with Alfa Laval separation technology, mine sites can recover and re-use up to 80% of process water while improving safety and environmental impact by moving away from the traditional practice of storing the slurries in tailings dams.
Alfa Laval solid bowl centrifuges offer the highest large capacity in the market, specifically engineered with a robust design and full wear protection for high reliability.
With 95+ years' direct market presence, the company ensures equipment uptime & performance with local service centres and field service engineers servicing even the most remote mining sites.
How separation technology transforms operating economics, safety and sustainability
