THE CHOICE IN SCREENING TECHNOLOGY

The New Era of Pump Wear Technology The efficient operation of slurry pumps in the mining industry is critical, with pump wear technology playing a significant role in monitoring and maintaining pump performance. One innovative solution that is making waves in the industry is the KSB GIW® SLYsight technology. This advanced slurry pump wear monitoring technology is revolutionising the way pump wear is detected and managed, leading to improved pump performance and longer equipment lifespan. Understanding Slurry Pump Challenges The transportation of abrasive and corrosive mixtures in mining operations is the task of slurry pumps, but this duty inevitably results in considerable wear and tear on the equipment. These pumps face a rigorous demand that poses a significant challenge in...

Pilbara Minerals and Ganfeng partner for 32ktpa lithium conversion plant Pilbara Minerals (ASX: PLS) and Ganfeng have signed a binding term sheet to complete a joint feasibility study on a downstream lithium conversion plant. The feasibility study will consider a conversion plant that could produce around 32ktpa lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) of lithium chemicals along with a potential intermediate lithium chemical product. It will consider the operating costs, capital costs, fiscal incentives and overall economics of a potential lithium chemicals plant together with assessment of other factors including ESG, permitting timeline and supply chain logistics. Pilbara Minerals managing director and chief executive Dale Henderson commented...
