Flowsheet of the future

Zero water waste, zero emissions and zero energy waste

We want to help miners produce more with less resource use and to create a smaller footprint.

But what does this look like in reality? It means offering customers the required technological and digital solutions to move towards greener mining processes. We are focused on the entire flowsheet, but with an emphasis on areas where we see a lot of potential, such as:

• Reducing water use and maximising water recovery
• Lowering tailings risk and footprint
• Energy efficiency and electrification
• Decarbonisation
• Lifecycle enhancement
• Digital and data-based optimisation

The whole is often greater than the sum of the parts.

What benefits could the MissionZero Mine deliver?

There will be benefits in each section of the flowsheet, but the real benefit will come from the combined impact of solutions and optimisations across the mine site.

In fact, we modelled what the impact would be if you replaced a traditional wet milling SABC circuit, standard flotation cells and cyclone sand tailings dam with the MissionZero Mine flowsheet for a 100,000 tpd plant.
