Stability for
Complex Mining Circuits.

Mines and concentrators often run large open cooling circuits with variable water quality. TES provides the operational discipline needed to maintain heat transfer on critical process loops.

Technical Overview

A Direct Path to Cooling Stability.

Mines deal with high solids loading, tailings ingress, and variable chemistry. TES addresses these challenges at the surface layer, keeping exchangers cleaner for longer.

    1

    Solids Management

    Film-forming properties help keep solids mobile and prevent under-deposit corrosion.

    2

    Variable Loads

    Maintain design delta-T even as process throughput fluctuates.

    3

    Reduced Downtime

    Significantly extend the mean-time-between-cleaning for critical heat exchangers.

Typical Mining Layout

Operational Uptime

Reduce unscheduled shutdowns caused by cooling-driven process constraints.

Water Stewardship

Maintain system efficiency even when using low-quality or recycled mine water.

Sustainable Chemistry

Non-toxic, non-oxidising chemistry reduces discharge environmental impact.

High-Load Minerals Processing.

In smelting and minerals processing, cooling is often the constraint on production throughput. By protecting heat-transfer surfaces with Mexel®432, we ensure that fouling rates do not force unscheduled furnace de-ratings or refrigeration outages.
