FLOWCELL In Depth: Applications

More specific applications for Mining and Industrial uses of FLOWCELL are as follows:

Mining Industry
Solids Transport - FLOWCELL provides a low cost transportation method for moving granular pit waste at sand & gravel or quarrying operations.

Mine Waste/Tailings Disposal - Low moisture pipeline transportation of mine waste/tailings to ponds or fill areas facilitates design of smaller, more efficient impoundments and minimizes or eliminates water re-handling and treatment. Transportation is achieved with no free water at moisture contents in the range of 5% to 30% depending on the size and absorption of the solids.

Mine Backfilling/Sand Filling/Stope Filling - FLOWCELL provides an alternative process and a low moisture content fill material, with no free water, for filling underground voids and stopes, or other mine workings in abandoned or active mines and naturally occurring cavities. The process minimizes or eliminates water re-handling, providing for substantial cost reductions compared with conventional methods. The FLOWCELL process allows for pipeline transportation and disposal operations to be conducted in geographic areas of low water availability.

Industrial Plants
Waste Disposal - Transportation of sewage and other waste materials with little or no moisture, minimizes water usage, treatment and post-transport water handling.
