What it is:
Tailings dam seepage and spillage recovery systems capture escaped fluids to protect the environment and reclaim usable water.
Challenges:
Recovered liquid often contains fine solids and chemicals that accelerate pump wear, and systems must operate continuously in remote outdoor environments.
Solution:
Hevvy/Toyo sealed, corrosion-resistant pumps with recessed impellers deliver reliable, low-maintenance performance in seepage and recovery systems, minimizing environmental risk.
What it is:
Reclaim water systems recover clarified water from tailings ponds or thickeners for reuse in processing circuits.
Challenges:
Recovered water may contain fine suspended solids and residual reagents that corrode or foul pumps.
Solution:
Hevvy/Toyo submersible pumps in corrosion-resistant materials provide dependable reclaim water transfer, reducing reliance on fresh water and improving process sustainability.
What it is:
Tailings pipelines transport thick, abrasive slurry from processing plants to containment areas for storage or dewatering.
Challenges:
High solids and long-distance pumping create severe wear and high energy demands. Any breakdown leads to costly production interruptions.
Solution:
Hevvy/Toyo’s robust slurry pumps with large internal clearances and wear-resistant materials deliver continuous, efficient tailings transport with reduced maintenance and lower lifecycle costs.
