Integrated Pump Rental’s innovative SlurrySucker desilting barge is successfully cleaning a large process dam for a coal mine in Mpumalanga, after past attempts by numerous contractors had failed. The application of the SlurrySucker meets the safety priorities of the mine while cost effectively removing the slurry.

A SlurrySucker dredging unit, locally manufactured by Integrated Pump Rental, will ensure optimal operation of Tronox’s dams at the heavy mineral miner’s operation on the West Coast of South Africa.

Ensuring sufficient water storage capacity in mines’ process ponds is crucial for the optimal functioning of mineral treatment plants, and this means regular desilting must be conducted. Integrated Pump Rental plays a valuable role in desilting process ponds with its locally manufactured SlurrySucker system.
