Empresa Minera Manquiri S.A. transports minerals with cooperatives and COMIBOL. At the same time, it acquires minerals from various Bolivian sources for the production and commercialization of Silver-Dore ingots, through a leaching process in tanks and their subsequent smelting. Its efforts are focused on contributing to the productive development of the Bolivian mining and metallurgical industry, in a world-class plant applying state-of-the-art technology in the protection and preservation of the environment.
Here are just a few:
There is a logical control system, which allows the introduction of operating parameters, which makes it possible to automate our processes.
The automation of the process plant consists of: level sensors, flows, pH, gas detectors, pressure, and so on.
The design of the process allows the feeding of oxidized load with Silver content.
The process plant has an irrigation system using sprinklers installed on belts to avoid pollution.
The washing operation in Scrubber-Trommel allows to control the dispesion of dust in stacker. It is monitored every six months through an External Laboratory.
In the operation of the washer drum and the FDF tailings dam, 75% of the water is recirculated.
The tailings pumping allows the recirculation of process water from the DSF tailings dam to the Plant.
Tailings Dams are 100% waterproof.
The discharge of fines in the FDF Tailings Dam has 40 to 43% solids, being the same with plastic characteristics; the remaining 60 to 57% is made up of water.
The DSF Tailings Dam has a discharge of 48% solids, the remaining 52% is made up of water. The 48% mentioned has plastic characteristics, being 69.74% fine and 30.26% sand.
