PROBLEM TO SOLUTION

Effectively extract, pump & circulate water from shallow water bodies, Maximise Water Usage & Circulation, while inhibiting Vortexing, Cavitation, ingesting Silt & Mud

Cavitation

Vortex causes bubbles at low pressure in intake

Shock waves of implosion damaging the pump

Bubbles implode at high pressure in pump impeller

Cost Of Infra Structure

Decant Station Cost:$250K-$1000K+, Dam levels continue to rise as tailings pumped, Decant stations need to rise as well, Need to maintain pond in vicinity of station, Pontoons & barges - Safety of Personnel on water

Stability & Failure Modes

Excess water volume control to keep pond levels away from embankment, Keep water volume as small as possible, Keep decant pond near fixed decant station

Collapse of Tailings Storage

Considering safety, effectiveness & environmental sustainability, the mining industry needs a reliable and effective solution to manage tailings and dewatering The spot light is on safety & effective management of tailings dams.

Critical Submergence

Surface Vortices, Ingest tallings Reduced Flow & pump Performance

Complex Solution

Calculating Using any of these Formulas and Methodologies

SOLUTION

Turret™ – The Effective Solution

Turret floats on top of the water. Draws water from under surface. Stops vortexing, minimises ingestion of tailings or silt.

The Principle Says: “The Critical Submergence can be falsified by doing three things”

Turning It Side Ways - Taking Critical Submergence depth and turning it sideways.
Virtually Expanding the size of suction pipe intake with larger radial intake.
Vacuum - Doing all this under a vacuum.

Lower Ingestion Levels

Scalable Solution

Inhibit Vortexing

Easy Handling

Suction at Shallow Levels

• Depth of 400mm for Turret™ 3.0 (Turret™ 3m – mega-flow)

• Depth of < 100mm for Turret™ 2.0 (Turret™ 2m – maxi-flow)

• Depth of < 200mm for Turret™ 1.0 (Turret™ 1m – mini-flow)
