ANDRITZ is finding innovative ways to help mining companies be more sustainable in their operations.
As the mining industry explores ways to enable greater operational sustainability, effective tailings management has become a major focal point.
As one of the leading companies in industrial separation technologies, ANDRITZ offers a suite of advanced tailings solutions designed to optimise water recovery, reduce environmental impact, enable dry-stacking solutions, and enhance overall operational efficiency.
ANDRITZ’s tailings offerings encompass a wide range of products designed to cover every aspect of the tailings management process. The company’s solutions extend from sedimentation and dewatering to filtration and water recovery.
“Our broad portfolio for tailings treatment covers the full solid–liquid separation process, including decanter centrifuges, heavy-duty belt presses, hyperbaric and vacuum disc filters, vacuum belt filters, and filter presses,” ANDRITZ regional manager – Australia and New Zealand Paul Stevens said.
These solutions aim to maximise water recovery, reduce storage volumes, and provide safer disposal options for processed tailings.
Among ANDRITZ’s many products, the company highlights its heavy-duty belt press CPF-Q and robust filter presses as key solutions for tailings dewatering.
“Our heavy-duty belt press CPF-Q is a reliable and robust machine that is simple and cost-efficient to operate,” Stevens said. “The CPF-Q is a solution for high throughput tailings dewatering, achieving a low residual moisture with low operating costs.”
Additionally, the excellent water recovery rates of ANDRITZ’s filter presses, a technology known for delivering high filtration rates even in harsh conditions, contribute to reducing water consumption and improving sustainability.
The company’s decanter centrifuges also play a crucial role, especially for operations dealing with slurries that have fine particle size distributions. These machines, with high-speed design capabilities and large diameter-to-length ratios, are particularly effective in handling high volumes while enhancing recovery rates.
Innovation is at the core of ANDRITZ’s strategy in tailings management. The company’s research and development (R&D) efforts in the field of tailings management are focused on three primary objectives: enhanced water recovery, sustainability, and automation and digitalisation.
ANDRITZ is actively developing technologies that maximise water extraction from tailings, which is vital for regions where water scarcity is a significant issue. The company is also exploring ways to reuse processed tailings in applications like construction materials, further promoting sustainable mining practices.
Automation and digitalisation are becoming an increasingly important part of ANDRITZ’s solutions.
“We’re working on advanced monitoring systems and AI-supported process controls that can optimise tailings management in real-time,” ANDRITZ industry director – minerals and mining Mario Gerards said. “This digital shift not only enhances operational efficiency but also improves safety and reduces downtime.”
Mining environments are notoriously tough, and equipment longevity is a major concern. ANDRITZ addresses this by utilising high-quality, wear-resistant materials in its designs and offering comprehensive maintenance programs.
“Our solutions are engineered with robust construction to withstand continuous operation in the harshest conditions,” Gerards said.
ANDRITZ’s commitment to providing comprehensive global service support ensures that equipment remains in peak condition, minimising operational disruptions.
And the company’s focus on reducing energy consumption through optimised designs adds another layer of sustainability to its offerings. By delivering a complete range of solutions from dewatering to water treatment, ANDRITZ enables streamlined operations that maximise efficiency across the entire tailings management process.
One of ANDRITZ’s most notable success stories and one of the best references for dry stacking of tailings comes from the Itaminas iron ore mine in Brazil. By implementing ANDRITZ filter presses with LENSER filter plates as well as an advanced Metris addIQ control system, the mine achieved significant improvements in water recovery and reduced tailings volumes.

This not only minimised Itaminas’ environmental footprint but also lowered operational costs associated with tailings storage, proving the value of ANDRITZ’s technologies in real-world applications.
Looking ahead, ANDRITZ is working on several cutting-edge technologies aimed at revolutionising tailings management.
“One of our current development programs is focused on significant operational enhancements within our filter press technology,” Gerards said.
“Inspired by our vast experience in the Brazilian iron ore industry, we have implemented R&D in improving filter plate handling and filter cloth changing technology.”
Another interesting innovation is the Metris addIQ RheoScan, a system designed to optimise polymer dosage in real-time during the dewatering process.
“This technology automatically adjusts polymer dosing based on the rheological properties of the tailings, ensuring maximum efficiency in flocculation and sedimentation processes,” Gerards said.
The result is reduced polymer consumption, enhanced water recovery, and lower operational costs.
ANDRITZ is currently developing digital twin models that simulate and optimise tailings processes in real-time. These virtual models allow operators to predict and fine-tune performance, leading to improved efficiency and safety in tailings management.
The company is also exploring energy recovery systems that capture and reuse energy generated during the dewatering process, turning waste into a valuable resource stream.
ANDRITZ also plans to roll out a new filter press design over the next 12 to 18 months, alongside other advancements like enhanced digital twin applications and energy-efficient filtration systems.
These innovations are expected to significantly reduce the environmental footprint of tailings management while improving operational efficiency and safety.
The South Australian Chamber of Mines and Energy (SACOME) has weighed in on BHP’s plan to more than double its copper production in the state by 2030.
BHP plans to upgrade its Olympic Dam copper smelter to a ‘stage-two smelter’, as well as expand its refining capacity.
As one of only two copper smelters in Australia, the expansion will be a potential boon for the state.
“South Australia was known as ‘The Copper Kingdom’ in the 1840s when copper was first discovered,” SACOME chief executive officer Rebecca Knol said.
“Today’s copper renaissance is crucial to our everyday lives and to our energy transition.
“From EVs (electric vehicles) and charging stations to mobile devices and life-saving healthcare, copper is fuelling our lives and our net-zero ambitions.”
In SA, BHP currently operates the Carrapateena, Olympic Dam, Prominent Hill, and Oak Dam copper mines.
The Big Australian has been outspoken in its desire to become a global copper powerhouse, and has placed its focus directly on SA.
SACOME said it is essential for state and Federal governments to ensure BHP’s strategy for the smelter and refinery expansion becomes a reality.
There are now several steps that need to be undertaken to advance the project, including an Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation determination, development of Terms of Reference, and the preparation of an environmental impact assessment.
“(This) is a significant milestone in BHP’s proposed smelter and refinery expansion, which aims to position SA as a leading global copper jurisdiction,” Knol said.
“The State Prosperity Project has provided a framework for strategic development that enables value-add to South Australia’s already impressive resource endowment.”
The State Prosperity Project is a co-ordinated initiative by the SA Government to unlock the full potential of renewable energy, critical minerals and green manufacturing to herald a new era of prosperity for South Australia.
The project’s key focus is the Upper Spencer Gulf, with the SA Government investing jobs and training in the region.

Weir is aiding the mining industry in rethinking tailings. Image: Weir
While producing tailings is inevitable, Weir is here to ensure waste is removed and handled sustainably.
As millions of tonnes of ore are processed each day across the mining industry, it stands to reason that not all material is exported or used.
Although mine waste – also known as tailings – is unavoidable, heightened environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards in the mining industry are necessitating enhanced waste management methods.
Backed by an extensive portfolio of tailings solutions, technologies and processing equipment, Weir is on a mission to help the industry rethink, reduce and repurpose tailings through its transformational tailings flowsheets.
“We are looking to engage with the market to assist with solutions that will achieve new benchmark outcomes for water recovery, energy consumption, carbon footprints and safe storage,” Weir head of tailings and pipelines – Asia Pacific Simon Acutt told Australian Mining.
“We want to trigger new thinking on how to treat tailings.”
An example of this is Weir’s Cavex DE hydrocyclone, a technology that performs two stages of classification in one operational unit.
“The larger particles move downwards under gravity and leave via the bottom outlet with a small quantity of water,” Acutt said.
“A small amount of the fine solids remain with most of the water; this then spirals upwards through a central pipe and out the top as the overflow product. The Cavex DE hydrocyclone goes through this process twice.
“The aim is to separate the large particles and use them for construction material. The main use for the cyclone underflow is to build tailings dam walls.”
The Cavex DE hydrocyclone works without the need for intermediary pumping, piping or sumps. It’s fitted with an air core booster to improve capacity and efficiency by reducing the total pressure across the hydrocyclone and increasing the volume flow split to the overflow.

“This creates value out of the mine’s waste,” Acutt said. “By using sand from tailings, operators have less product going into their tailings storage facility (TSF), meaning the TSF can be smaller and save on diesel-powered earthmoving equipment.”
Another example of innovation is Weir’s second-generation Cavex 2 hydrocyclone, which expands upon the Cavex hydrocyclone range and marks a new era in separation technology.
Combined with the feed chamber, the LIG+ advanced laminar spiral inlet reduces turbulence and enables the hydrocyclone to classify up to 30 per cent more feed slurry within a similar footprint as the original Cavex hydrocyclones.
Alongside Weir’s range of tailings products and solutions, the company carries out pipe loop testing to provide design data, centrifugal pump testing, and high-pressure positive displacement pump testing at Weir Technical Centre in Victoria.
“Mineral slurries vary in many ways, meaning each slurry behaves differently in a pipe system,” Acutt said. “Therefore, pilot testing is important to help determine the best solution for each site and reduce the overall design risk.
“Weir can run a variety of tests to identify possible operational issues, with testing able to determine how the slurry behaves when pumped in a range of different conditions, solids concentrations and velocities, all while simulating pump failure and a potential restart event.
“The outcome ensures the selected pump and motors are right for the job and tailored to a mine site’s unique operating environments.”
To ensure it can offer the coarse particle flotation (CPF) technology to its customers, Weir has a cooperative agreement with Eriez, allowing the company to collaborate and apply its HydroFloat CPF technology when needed.
The CPF solution reduces energy consumption by 10–20 per cent and increases water recovery by up to 85 per cent by using advanced dewatering technologies.
“The technology works by injecting air bubbles into the lower levels of the tank,” Acutt said. “These bubbles lift ore to the top of the tank, which is collected via a concentrate overflow.
“The grind size is substantially larger than conventional flotation, significantly reducing energy consumption in the comminution phase. This also makes it much easier to separate water from tailings.
“CPF waste stream can be used for dam wall construction and dam wall support. It requires little further treatment, hence less expensive capital equipment and energy consumption. Weir is working closely with Eriez on several pilot trials.”
With a long-standing global presence in tailings management, Weir is an ideal partner to help the mining industry rethink its approach to tailings.
“Weir is not new to the tailings space,” Acutt said. “We have been actively investing in and expanding our knowledge and testing support facilities, positioning ourselves as a key partner for the future.”

“We are excited to work as a strategic partner with Reko Diq Mining in this major greenfield project which will ramp up global copper production required for energy transition,” President of Metso’s minerals business division and deputy chief executive officer (CEO) Markku Teräsvasara said.
“Metso will provide Reko Diq with advanced and sustainable technology for the production of copper and gold concentrates.”
Reko Diq Mining is 50 per cent owned by Barrick Gold, 25 per cent owned by three federal state-owned enterprises, with the balance held by the Balochistan Government.
The Reko Diq project is expected to have a mine life of approximately 40 years as a truck-and-shovel open pit operation, with construction expected in two phases. This will provide a combined processing capacity of roughly 90 million tonnes per annum. First production is targeted for 2028.
“Reko Diq will substantially expand Barrick’s strategically significant copper and gold portfolios and benefit all its Pakistani stakeholders for generations to come,” Barrick president and CEO Mark Bristow said.
“We are pleased to partner with Metso in this project where sustainable concentrate processing is one of the key drivers for plant design and operation.”

Zenith plate lips currently come in standard, long and heavy-duty options to suit all application requirements. Image: Bradken
Bradken has expanded its GET range to include Zenith plate lip GET to further support Australia’s mining sector.
Given the often-harsh conditions of the Australian resources industry, it is critical that mining companies select the right ground engaging tools (GET) for their operation.
Premium GET solutions extend machinery wear life and lessen the risk of equipment failure, minimising costly downtime. The right GET tooling also delivers reduced dig energy and improved penetration.
That is why Bradken has continually advanced its own GET solutions, ensuring customers always have the right option at hand. This includes the Zenith series, the latest addition to Bradken’s GET range suited to 100–250-tonne hydraulic excavators.
Bradken GET principal product manager Glenn Baxter explained the evolution of the company’s products.
“Bradken’s GET range has evolved from being regionally based with a suite of first-generation products, to now being more globally focused with a second and third generation of innovative products, all backed by a global original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in Hitachi Construction Machinery,” Baxter told Australian Mining.
“The Zenith technology is Bradken’s next generation of plate lip GET products, so it’s one of the latest solutions in the Bradken GET range.”
As Bradken developed an improved GET solution for higher tonnage hydraulic excavators, the company had several research and development (R&D) objectives.
“In the development of the Zenith range, we had a focus on creating an efficient tooth system from a machine performance and maintenance perspective,” Baxter said.
“We wanted to minimise the size of the tooth (without compromising strength) so the machine uses less power during each cycle, and simplify the locking system so it’s intuitive to use and easy to maintain when required.”
The Zenith series of GET is suited to 100–250-tonne hydraulic excavators. Image: Bradken
The Zenith locking system requires only 180° of rotation to be actuated, with the locking pin pre-installed in the point, which is another simplifying aspect of the range.
Other key benefits of the unique design is the reduction in change-out time and improved safety with the truly hammer-free pin and dedicated point removal tool enabling a safer removal process. Together these improve the ease of use and enable greater diversity in the workforce.
The Zenith points currently come in standard, long and heavy-duty options to suit all application requirements. And they can be used to extract any commodity, including copper, gold, coal or iron ore.
Baxter said operators have resonated with the intuitiveness of the range with simple installation and removal, along with the flat contact surfaces between the point and the nose enabling easy rebuilds if required.
“Maintenance teams will often have a list of tasks to complete on a shift, and when they come to changing their Zenith GET, because of its simplicity, personnel can easily make their tooth changes without having to constantly refer to the instruction manual,” he said.
“GET can be replaced in a consistent short timeframe, meaning maintenance personnel can plan and spend more time on other tasks that might be of a higher priority.”
A product comparison demonstrated the efficiency of the Zenith range, with teeth able to be replaced in one minute each, whereas a generation-one tooth took on average 11 minutes to replace.
“When changes are made to six teeth, operators can save a lot of time on maintenance and spend more time in production,” Baxter said.
“Our R&D teams conducted numerous simulations during the design phases and when compared to our generation-one system, the Zenith teeth penetrated material using up to five per cent less power, which is a significant advantage over the long run.”
The Zenith range also has on average an 11 per cent longer wear life than Bradken’s first generation system, based on recent infield performances.
Bradken understands that not only can it supply customers cost-effective and reliable solutions such as its Zenith GET range, but it can also bring together solutions from other product lines to provide a holistic offering.
“We’ll continue to expand the Zenith range as part of this new generation of plate lip products,” Baxter said.
“More broadly, Bradken is combining the recent structural development work undertaken on our mining excavator buckets – including the addition of a cast upper structure – with our GET solutions on the front of the bucket.
“Our design team specifies the right sizes for the operating conditions, and by using machine parameters we can take a more holistic approach, rather than just provide the GET solution alone.”
Baxter said Bradken’s digital portfolio is also advancing.
“The advancement of our tailored condition-monitoring solutions, where we can track the performance and wear of the GET in real-time, demonstrates that there is some pretty exciting R&D occurring at Bradken,” he said.
“And through all our innovations, Bradken is fortunate enough to be backed by a Tier 1 OEM in Hitachi Construction Machinery, who support our product development and the speed with which we can innovate.”
