Mineral Processing
We currently beneficiate in excess of 1,5 million tonnes of coal per month for our clients and continuously seek new opportunities for expansion.
The processing of minerals uniquely positions us to provide you with an integrated service offering. It extends from mining (reclamation), materials handling and mineral processing through to the safe handling of product and waste streams. This increases efficiencies across these aspects of the value chain and ensures a single point of accountability for you, as our client.
Our Mineral Processing team utilises proprietary maintenance tactics to ensure best-in-class engineering availabilities. Our highly skilled and experienced operational teams deliver efficient operations at benchmark utilisations.
The solutions we provide include the funding of the plants with contracting models such as BOOM and BOOT (build, own, operate and transfer) or the design and construction of client-funded plants that we can operate and maintain.
COMMINUTION and sizing
We have extensive experience in the selection, operation and maintenance of various types of crushers and mills which are used in combination with the associated equipments such as screens and hydro cyclones. This ensures optimal particle sizing and liberation for the recovery of valuable minerals.
We provide these fit-for-purpose, modular and fixed plants as a complete solution from the design phase on a DB & OM, BOOM or BOOT basis. But can also undertake O&M services on client facilities.
How our Crushing and Screening Solutions assist your facility?
- Optimal equipment selection for lowest life-cycle cost
- Appropriate levels of liberation for increased recovery efficiencies
- Reduction in consumed energy
- Reduction in losses due to excessive fines generation (coal)
- Client focus remains on overall management and commodity control
SOLID-LIQUID SEPARATION & DEWATERING
Water remains the key medium that ensures efficient beneficiation processes but is increasingly scarce and costly. Whether it is to reduce consumption, mitigate the environmental impact of disposing conventional “wet” tailings or to reduce the effect of moisture on your product, we have a solution for you.
This solution includes appropriate combinations of centrifuges, hydrocyclones, high-frequency dewatering screens, thickeners and both plate-and-frame filter presses and belt presses. These units are mostly included within our standard process designs but can also be provided to you as standalone solutions. This may include the funding of the plants with contracting models such as BOOM and BOOT (build, own, operate and transfer) or the design and construct of client funded plants which we can operate and maintain.
How our Solid-Liquid Separation & Dewatering Processes assist your facility?
- Reduced raw water consumption due to increased water recovery and re-circulation
- Lower environmental impact/risk
- Increased qualities/heating value of coal products
- Reduced capital requirements for smaller tailings footprints
- Reduced capital requirement for the client due to BOOM or BOOT contracting models
MINERAL BENEFICIATION
Beneficiation Solutions
Fraser Alexander’s beneficiation solutions includes various gravity concentration processes, dense medium separation and froth flotation. We offer a complete turnkey service including design, construction, commission and operation of process plants. Your facility is in expert hands with detailed attention placed on the maintenance of the process plant.
The solutions we provide include the funding of the plants with contracting models such as BOOM and BOOT (build, own, operate and transfer) or the design and construction of client funded plants which we can operate and maintain.
How do our Beneficiation Solutions assist your facility?
- Reduced capital requirement
- Faster implementation of modular plants resulting in earlier revenues
- Proven process designs that deliver
- An experienced team that delivers operational excellence and efficiency
- Client focus remains on overall management and commodity control
FINE & ULTRAFINE MINERAL BENEFICIATION
An unintended consequence of sufficient liberation to recover a primary product is that secondary products are concentrated in the ultrafine size fractions. We utilise proven equipment in unique combinations to ensure the high recovery efficiencies that are required in the small size fractions to exploit these resources such as UG2 PGM tailings and ultrafine coal.
Technologies available to you when partnering with Fraser Alexander include conventional spirals, Multi-Gravity Separators™, Optima™ Classifier, high intensity magnetic separators and the O&M (operate and maintain) of the world’s only operational Ultrafine Coal DMS plant. Ultrafine products can be agglomerated to your required specifications.
How our Fine & Ultrafine Mineral Beneficiation Solutions assist your facility.
- Higher density cut points and increased efficiencies
- Increased recovery in the ultrafine size fractions below 100 micron
- Scavenging of previously uneconomic tailings fractions
- Increased yields
- Reduced capital requirement due to BOOM or BOOT contracting models
