Water and the effective management of tailings are among the most pressing challenges facing the mining industry today. As operations navigate stricter regulations, increasing stakeholder expectations and growing water scarcity, the need for modern, sustainable tailings solutions continues to grow.
For mining companies around the world, the focus is shifting from conventional tailings storage approaches toward advanced dewatering and Dry Stack Tailings (DST) solutions that improve safety, maximize water recovery and reduce environmental impacts.
Recovering water, reducing risk
Leveraging the DELKOR portfolio, TAKRAF Group provides industry-leading dewatering technologies including High-Rate, High-Density and Paste Thickeners, Horizontal Belt Filters and Filter Presses designed to maximize water recovery and improve tailings handling performance. Water recovery rates from DELKOR Thickeners alone can range from 60% to 93% depending on the application.
Such technologies help operations:
- Increase safety
- Recover and recycle process water
- Reduce freshwater consumption
- Improve operational efficiencies
- Enhance environmental performance
- Support long-term water stewardship strategies
Complete Dry Stack Tailings (DST) systems
By combining DELKOR's dewatering expertise with TAKRAF's material transport, conveying, dump design and stacking technologies, TAKRAF Group is among a select few global suppliers capable of delivering a complete DST system.
