Mining & mineral extraction
Whether deep within the mine, at the bustling processing plant, or within the fiery heart of the refinery, compressed air is an omnipresent force. Here’s how it shapes the mining and refining landscape: In processing plants, low pressure air performs a multitude of tasks. It increases concentration during flotation, aids in leaching processes, facilitates pneumatic conveying, and ensures efficient filtration.
During the refining stage, compressed air is equally indispensable. Refineries and smelters rely on it. Kilns, roasters, and fluidized beds demand high volumes of air to ignite their processes. Without this unmissable companion, the heart of refining would remain cold and dormant.
