FLSmidth has received an order to deliver five AFP2500 concentrate and tailings filters to South32\u2019s Hermosa critical minerals project in southern Arizona. The equipment will help the miner minimize the operation\u2019s environmental impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
The value of the order was not disclosed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA key element in enabling sustainable mining is among others to reduce water consumption. Consequently, South32\u2019s ambition of developing a mine operation with a low environmental impact, including a significantly reduced water consumption, is fully aligned with our MissionZero ambitions,\u201d said Chris Reinbold, president of Products Business Line at FLSmidth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTailings filtration is one of the core competencies of FLSmidth, and therefore we are obviously pleased to support the development of this important project.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The greenfield project\u2019s design is expected to result in 75% less water consumption compared to other mines in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
