As water resources become more and more constrained, mining and mineral processing companies explore new and alternative water sources to meet production demands. In some cases, seawater and seawater reverse osmosis (RO) permeates are pumped long distances to mine sites in order to secure enough water for day-to-day operations. These long and expensive pipelines are critical to the economic success of the mines that rely on them.

Paragroup can partner with you to help tailor a corrosion inhibitor program that helps to protect your assets against seawater and other corrosive elements. By leveraging best-in-class chemistry with global industry expertise and remote monitoring, Paragroup can build a solution that minimizes corrosion and helps your pipeline withstand continuous exposure to seawater.

At Paragroup, we understand that dust can create serious health and environmental issues for your mining operation. Without the proper dust control solution, challenges with dust can strain your bottom-line results. Paragroup offers a comprehensive line of dust suppression additives including foam dust control, surface tension reducers, binders, tackifiers, and humectants.

By offering a diverse portfolio of dust control solutions, Paragroup can effectively partner with you to address your dust control needs. Whether you are looking for solutions for your conveyer system, haul road, transfer point, or other application point, Paragroup can deliver an approach that combines the proper equipment and optimized chemistry to help you knock down dust and get back to your day-to-day productions.

Your system relies on a careful balance of chemistry to operate at peak efficiency. Excessive surface foam can interfere with mining filtration processes, which ultimately impacts the productivity of your operation. Paragroup offers mining foam control programs that can be tailored to meet your specific operational needs. Depending on the areas of your process that require a defoamer or anti-foaming agent, Paragroup can work with you to ensure the proper program is implemented to help you achieve the process efficiency outcomes that you expect. By implementing a foam control solution tailored to suit your mining operation, Paragroup can help you improve throughput, productivity, and ultimately, profitability.

In mining, scale formation is a constant challenge across a variety of mineral processing operations, impacting pumping efficiency, productivity, and overall cost of operations. Paragroup offers a wide range of anti-scale programs along with monitoring, equipment, and modeling to meet your scale control needs. By partnering with you to understand the unique environment of your plant, Paragroup will tailor your scale control program to your specific operation and water composition. Our approach can improve pumping efficiency, productivity, and overall profitability so that you can focus on running your plant. We also offer a range of specialty products designed for hard-to-treat scale formations that require a more robust scale control solution.

Traditional tailings management practices do not align with ever-increasing demands of mining and mineral processing companies.  From environmental concerns rooted in disastrous tailings dam failures, to shrinking tailings storage facility footprints due to growing production levels, your tailings management process must be built with an infrastructure that’s minded for the future.

Paragroup partners with mineral processing companies to engineer tailings dewatering solutions that recover as much water as possible, giving you a more sustainable tailings disposal process while extending the life of your tailings storage facility.
