Water supply plays an important role in all copper mining ventures, particularly with projects in water scarce regions.  Most water in copper mining is used in flotation beneficiation, smelting, and electro-refining.

Wilfley Heavy Duty centrifugal pumps with its waterless seal system and durable construction are not only helping Copper mines worldwide to meet water consumption regulations and but also increasing plant’s reliability by eliminating bearings contamination due seal/gland packing leakages.
