Welcome to TailingsPlant.app
Welcome to this free, easy-to-use, web application that puts powerful technical tools directly into your hands. We built it because:
- Filtering mine tailings can deliver big gains, from improved water recovery and TSF stability to progressive revegetation, better closure outcomes, at reduced cost and smaller footprint as well as alleviating constraints on production
- it can be a major commitment, requiring significant plant construction and operating costs, as well as changes to deposition and management practices
- there is a need for tools to help make validated, informed decisions about tailings filtration.
Knowing your mill throughput and slurry characteristics, the appâs reliable Filter Plant Calculator helps you to answer key questions, such as:
How big would a filter plant need to be to process our tailings?
How would this affect our water balance and recovery?
The User Guide describes how to use the calculator. However, if you are new to the topic of dewatering generally, or tailings filtration in particular, start with the Dewatering of Tailings or Filter Type Options pages in the Explanations section.
Another important question could be:
Where can I find more information and people with whom to discuss this?
We gratefully acknowledge the support of Sponsors, many of whom provide technology, equipment and services that can help you to implement dewatering solutions.
After using the application to explore a tailings filtration case, you can download a report that can be used as a reference for colleagues, external partners and stakeholders.
Kipinat Ltd, publisher of tailingsplant.app, also offers a regular two-hour online course introducing the fundamentals of tailings dewatering, built on the principles shared in the book: Solid-Liquid Filtration: A userâs guide to minimizing cost & environmental impact, maximizing quality & productivity, 2011, by Trevor Sparks
