Maximizing recovery and grade with precision measurement and control solutions.
Due to the size and location of most leaching pads, it can be difficult to obtain accurate data with manual controls, especially in hazardous conditions where optimizing solvent flow and stabilizing bacteria is paramount.
Emerson offers a wide range of wireless technologies to help automate your leaching operation as you see fit by helping detect plugged lines and flooding, monitor and control acid distribution, prevent pad instabilities, and provide better insight into leaching efficiency.
Leach pad wireless measurement solutions
Gain insight into the chemical distribution across your leach pads.
DeltaV for mining and minerals applications
Leach pad automation solutions for optimized metal recovery.
Keystone valves
Trusted valve solutions for leaching operations.
Extracting copper from organic material is paramount to profitable solvent extraction and electrowinning (SX/EW) processes, but undetected short circuits between anode and cathode can waste significant energy, time and money. With Emerson’s wireless temperature transmitters, plant operators can detect cathode voltage abnormalities and gain valuable insight into short circuits well in advance of daily operator rounds, thereby increasing overall process current efficiency and operational profitability.

Miners can achieve higher and more consistent metal recovery by automating their heap leach monitoring.
Miners can improve safety of personnel by implementing wireless leach pad monitoring solutions.
Remote monitoring or remote asset monitoring is a critical tool for mining since mining assets are geographically dispersed. It involves the data collection from mobile mining assets that provides status and performance from a distance.
Condition monitoring is a tool that assesses machine health and integrity. It involves various measurement acquisition types and delivers the diagnostic details necessary to predict machine failure. Condition monitoring can be applied to stacker reclaimers, electric rope shovels, crushers, conveyors, and several other machine types.
