Mining

Slurry dewatering, tailings management and process water treatment for hard-rock and mineral processing operations.

Mining operations run on volume — tailings, process water and slurry streams measured in thousands of cubic metres per day. Small gains in dewatering efficiency or wear-part life translate into large operating cost savings over a mine's life.

Paragon supplies the separation, dewatering and pumping equipment that keeps process plants running, and provides the aftermarket wear packages that keep them running for longer between overhauls.

Common Challenges

  • Highly abrasive slurries eroding pumps and cyclones
  • Tailings dewatering to meet stack disposal specifications
  • Process water recovery and reuse targets
  • Extended maintenance intervals to reduce downtime
  • Environmental compliance on discharge quality

How Paragon Supports Mining

Dewatering equipment

Decanter centrifuges, filter presses and sludge screw presses sized for the target cake dryness and throughput of your process.

Slurry pumps & wear parts

Centrifugal, progressive cavity and diaphragm pumps with hard-metal and elastomer wear components engineered for long life in abrasive duties.

Process water treatment

Chemical dosing, polymer make-up and clarification systems that hit discharge or reuse targets consistently.
