"A major company mine site test has confirmed these
advantages in the field during a typical 240-day leach cycle. When
compared with five other emitter manufacturers, this testing proved that
the Ore-Max emitters were the most resistant to plugging and offered the
most consistent flow from emitter to emitter over every range of
pressure tested." |

The following are case studies from the actual operating experience of mines around the world using the ORE-MAX Max-Emitter. Gold mines have seen gold extraction increases of up to 26%. Copper mines have seen copper extraction increases of up to 25% using the Max-Emitter. That is why we say:
"Don’t Leave 25% Behind!"

"Convincing a mine to
convert to the
new Max-Emitter technology, an emitter designed for the mining industry,
is not easy. The mine may have operated for years with an inexpensive
“commodity emitter” designed for agriculture and they are producing
gold. What the operators or management does not realize, the
agricultural emitter is designed to be used with extremely clean
solutions because in agriculture they filter the solution with sand
media filters to 200-mesh to remove any particulates before it passes
through the emitters so they will not plug. In an operating mine, all
leach solutions are recycled and they become dirtier and dirtier as time
passes. Why not filter at the mine? Leach solution volumes are often
much higher and dirtier than in an agricultural setting and in most
situations it is not possible to filter. So operating with a “commodity
emitter” will extract gold, but they can easily plug up during the leach
cycle leading to dry areas not receiving any leach solution so the gold
extraction is not optimized. The Max-Emitter’s new technology increases
the internal filtration area of each emitter up to 50 or more times the
screen area of an agricultural emitter. This helps keep the emitter
from plugging and improves solution distribution over the heap meaning
you optimize solution distribution and gold extraction. The result is a
dramatic increase in production for the mine. Look at some of these
success stories"
