11. GIW HVF froth pump in Apatite concentrator, Finland
Plant decided to process fine and coarse fractions separately to improve total recovery and grade
Fine fraction to be processed separately in Outotec flotation circuit, coarse fraction to be processed in hydrosizer circuit
Immediately after start up problems with high froth at fines processing area. Pumpability was disappearing. Air up to 70% of total pulp volume
Pumping fluctuates between 50 – 200 m3/h based to flowmeters. In practice fluctuation higher – air disturbed flow meter readings.
Pump was competitor’s 8/6
Solution hunting include
First: Chemical changes: pine fatty acids, water glass and/or arab gum to kill the froth. Results were encouraging but reagent dosages too high.
Second: Mechanical changes to sump design to feed slurry in axial direction and increasing sump wall height.

GIW HVF froth pump in Apatite concentrator, Finland
Third: Different pump, two size larger pump or air removing pump. Conventional air removal pump from paper industry tested first but maintenance cycle only a week.
GIW introduced new patented HVF slurry pump. Installation after plant made modifications to pump base plate and motor connections.
Pump was started January 2011 and was immediate success
Competitor’s pump was installed at same sump for comparison purpose. After few minutes sump was overflowing when competitor’s pumps was started.
After starting GIW pump again, during 10 minutes sump level was stabilized and no overflowing.
OT – GIW Froth pumps are now invited to all severe frothy locations in the Finnish phosphate mine.

13. BHB Escondida copper mine in Chile
Astana Mining and Metallurgy
BHB Escondida copper mine in Chile
2 concentrator plants: Laguna Seca and Los Colorados. Total capacity tpd
The problem: Cyclone feed pumps did not achieve maintenance break interval which grinding mills were achieving.
Suction liners life <1000 hours
Impeller life 1800 hours
BHP Escondida wanted solution: 1) meet high safety standard, 2) maintain mill outage schedule and 3) minimize costs
GIW responded:
Suggestion: GIW suction liner and Impeller was installed to replace competitor parts. Careful part optimization and material selection lead to good results. Suction Liner lifetime improved to 1300 hours and impeller improves also.
After first pump was running, BHP was confirmed about GIW quality. Wanted to replace rest of competitor’s cyclone feed pumps
After replacements and further improvements, lifetime for pump wear parts currently > 2000 hours (same than mill’s outage)
GIW has been provided further expansions since then for Cyclone feed pumping duties in BHP Escondida.

SUMMARY
GIW pumps were able to reduce concentrator stoppages and spare part usage.
Biggest portion of savings coming from higher availability of plant
Smaller part of savings coming from less spare part consumption
Total TCO savings above USD per year.

16. Try & Buy for Grinding applications
If plant has shorter maintenance break intervals for cyclone feed pump (or tailings line pumps) compared to concentrator maintenance breaks, Try & Buy campaign can be considered.
Typically maintenance break intervals between 2- 4 months in demanding grinding feed application
If plant has problem with high spare part consumption, try & buy campaign can be considered.
Success / Fail criteria very important to agree, typically 10-50% longer wear parts life time is targeted for GIW pump.
