Silver and Gold Success Stories
Optimer IQ Flocculant Technology Helps Gold Processing Operation Save Over $3.5M Per Year in Gold Production
A gold mine in Eastern Europe commissioned Nalco Water to help them improve gold processing productivity and reduce costs. The mine applied a multi-stage/multi-facility process to manage its operations due to the complex nature of the ore that they were mining. The process included secondary decanter centrifuges, which Nalco Water targeted to help enhance production. Download the case study below to learn how Nalco Water deployed Optimer IQ technology and helped to save the mine more than $3.5 M per year.
