Fourth Tails

As part of Ore Processing Department upgrade to accommodate higher production rates, a fourth tails line was required to compensate greater flow rates and to allow for maintenance works to be carried out without impacting production.

KMS completed the fabrication and supply of both poly lines (DN350 SDR11) and DN250 Rubber lined steel, along with the installation as per issued compliance requirements.

Challenge

The mining company sought to upgrade its Ore Processing Department to handle higher production rates while maintaining compliance with industry regulations. It required a solution that enhanced the existing system with minimal disruption to ongoing operations, enabling service reliability and the capacity to carry out maintenance without hindering production levels.

Solution

KMS successfully completed the fabrication and supply of the necessary components for the new tails line, including poly lines (DN350 SDR11) and DN250 rubber-lined steel. By collaborating closely with the mining company, KMS ensured that the installation process adhered to the issued compliance requirements and minimized any potential production disruptions.

Result

After implementing the new tails line, the mining company experienced several key benefits, including:

1. Increased Production Capacity: With the fourth tails line installed, the Ore Processing Department can now handle higher production rates without compromising service reliability.
2. Streamlined Maintenance: The added tails line allows for easier maintenance processes with minimal interruption to production, enabling the mining company to keep up with demanding schedules.
3. Regulatory Compliance: KMS adhered to the issued compliance requirements, ensuring that the mining company stays within industry regulations and avoids potential fines.
4. Collaboration and Support: Through close cooperation with the mining company, the KMS team navigated any challenges faced during the installation process, resulting in a seamless delivery of the upgraded system.

KMS’s tailings line solution allowed the mining company to achieve its goals of increasing production capacity and streamlining maintenance.

With the fourth tails line now in place and full adherence to compliance requirements, the mining company is well-positioned for continued growth and uninterrupted production.
