Robust technology for coal tailings dewatering

  • Excellent output (solids dryness) even in tough conditions
  • Removes need for tailings dams
  • Reduces footprint as well as capital and maintenance costs
  • Contained process resulting in good and safe working conditions
  • Full support from our global sales & service team, even in remote locations
Our solid-liquid separation solutions are an effective, proven, high capacity solution for dewatering coal tailings and mine wastewater. They are also an effective solution for recovery of fine coal from flotation concentrate as well as from lean streams. The dewatering technology produces a cake with up to 70% dry solids by mass, which can then be used for co-disposal with coarse rejects.
