Atmospheric Gassed Tank Agitators
Stirred tank reactors under continuous atmospheric operating conditions fulfill an important key function for many gassed hydrometallurgical leaching processes.
Large Tanks and Leach Tank Agitators
Since the quality of ore bodies often decreases as rich resources get depleted, one trend is to process more slurry volume in one plant or module which leads to further increased vessel sizes for current and future projects.
