Tailored Chemical Programmes By Sector

Each sector gets a matched reagent suite, dosing guidance and consumption reporting — not a generic catalogue price list.

01 Open pit gold mine operation Witwatersrand · Free State · Mpumalanga

Gold & Uranium Operations

From deep-level CIL plants to open-pit heap leaches, we supply the flotation, leaching and detoxification chemistry that keeps gold recoveries stable as head grades decline — plus the water chemistry needed to meet discharge conditions.

Typical challenges we solve

  • Declining head grades and refractory ore behaviour
  • High reagent cost per ton milled and inconsistent dosing
  • Cyanide detox and uranium-bearing effluent compliance
  • Water scarcity and poor thickener return-water clarity

02 Platinum group metals concentrator plant Bushveld Complex · Rustenburg · Steelpoort

Platinum Group Metals

Merensky and UG2 circuits demand selectivity. We formulate collector and depressant combinations that lift concentrate grade while managing chromite entrainment and talcaceous slimes — and keep the water loop closed with high-performance polymers.

Typical challenges we solve

  • Chromite entrainment and concentrate grade dilution
  • Talc and sericite slimes destabilising flotation
  • Zero-discharge pressure and thickener underperformance
  • Scaling in closed-loop water and cooling circuits

03 Underground coal mine operation eMalahleni · Waterberg · KwaZulu-Natal

Coal & Anthracite

Collieries run on dense medium, fine-coal recovery and haul-road discipline. Our chemistry improves fine-coal yields, keeps belts and chutes clean, suppresses dust on long haul roads and brings acidic effluent inside discharge limits.

Typical challenges we solve

  • Fine-coal loss to tailings and dense-medium contamination
  • Haul-road dust, water usage and community complaints
  • Acidic seepage and effluent licence exceedances
  • Belt carry-back, chute blockages and downtime

04 Open pit base metals mine with haul trucks Northern Cape · Limpopo · North West

Copper, Chrome & Manganese

Oxide-to-sulphide transitions, abrasive ores and remote logistics define these circuits. We supply pH and activation chemistry that holds recovery across ore blends, polymers that handle high-solids slimes, and dust control built for arid, windy sites.

Typical challenges we solve

  • Recovery drops across oxide / sulphide transitions
  • High-solids slimes and slow thickener settling
  • Wind-borne dust on stockpiles and access roads
  • Remote sites with long resupply lead times

05 Quarry and aggregates crushing plant Gauteng · Midrand · National Aggregate Supply

Quarries, Aggregates & Construction

Crushing plants live and die by their water balance and their licence conditions. Our dust binders and wash-plant polymers cut water consumption, keep discharge silt-free and silence the dust complaints that stall expansion approvals.

Typical challenges we solve

  • Crusher and screen dust, and neighbour complaints
  • Wash-plant water loss and silt-laden ponds
  • Atmospheric emission licence conditions
  • PPE compliance for high-turnover contractor crews

06 Water and tailings treatment plant Tailings Facilities · Municipal · Camp Water

Water, Tailings & Municipal

Whether it's an acid mine drainage plant, a tailings dam supernatant or potable water for a mining camp, we dose to the discharge or drinking-water standard and document everything your water use licence auditor will ask for.

Typical challenges we solve

  • Acid mine drainage and elevated sulphate / metal loads
  • Water use licence and DWS discharge limits
  • Potable water quality for camps and hostels
  • Thickener and clarifier underperformance, high sludge volumes
