FLS to supply key technologies for a BHQ iron ore beneficiation project in South Asia

FLS has been awarded multiple repeat contracts to supply key technologies for a Banded Hematite Quartzite (BHQ) beneficiation – a process of upgrading low-grade iron ore into a premium grade concentrate.

The scope includes the delivery of a High-Pressure Grinding Roll (the largest of its kind), nine of the world’s largest stirred media mills with hydrocyclones, nextSTEP™ flotation technology, concentrate thickeners and the world’s largest filtered tailing system. In addition, FLS will provide its advanced process control systems as well as supervision, start-up, and commissioning services.

“This award underscores the strength of our customer relationships and our ability to deliver high-capacity beneficiation solutions at scale. By combining energy-efficient grinding, advanced flotation technologies, filtered tailings technologies and digital process control, we support a reliable ramp-up while improving productivity and reducing environmental impact. This project is fully aligned with our MissionZero ambition to enable more sustainable mining operations”, comments Qasim Abrahams, Products Business Line President at FLS.
