Welcome to the dewatering and filter plant calculation app

Welcome to this free, easy-to-use, web application that puts powerful technical tools directly into your hands. We built it because:

1. Dewatering and Filtration are incredibly important in mining and mineral processing

   • Reducing costs and making transportation safer for mineral and metal concentrates
   • For tailings, potentially improving TSF stability, allowing better closure outcomes, reducing cost and volumes sent for storage alleviating constraints on production

2. Filtration and dewatering can be a major commitment, requiring significant plant construction and operating costs

Knowing your processing throughput and slurry characteristics, the app’s reliable Filter Plant Calculator helps you to answer key questions, such as:

How big would a filter plant need to be?” or “How would this affect our water balance and recovery?

The User Guide describes how to use the calculator. However, if you are new to the topic of dewatering generally, or tailings filtration in particular, start with the Dewatering of Tailings or Filter Type Options pages in the Explanations section.

Another important question could be:

Where can I find more information and people with whom to discuss this?

We gratefully acknowledge the support of Sponsors, many of whom provide technology, equipment and services that can help you to implement dewatering solutions.
