Bluwat Chemicals — Delivering Smarter Tailings & Water Solutions for the Mining Industry

In today’s mining operations, efficiency, water recovery, and environmental compliance are no longer optional—they are essential for sustainable growth. At Bluwat Chemicals, we understand these challenges deeply. With over 25 years of manufacturing experience and customers in more than 100 countries, we provide high-performance Polyacrylamide (PAM) solutions tailored specifically for demanding mining environments.

Whether you operate an iron mine, gold mine, copper concentrator, coal preparation plant, or phosphate project, one thing is clear: the quality of your flocculant directly affects the performance of your thickener, tailings system, and overall plant efficiency.

Why Leading Mines Choose Bluwat PAM

1. Faster Settling, Clearer Overflow, More Stable Production

Mining slurries are often complex—fine particles, clay, high solids, and fluctuating feed rates. Bluwat’s high-molecular-weight PAM rapidly forms strong flocs, improving:

• Thickener settling rate
• Overflow clarity
• Underflow density
• Overall plant stability

Mines often see 30–200% improvement in settling speed after optimizing their systems with our PAM solutions.

2. Higher Water Recovery — Lower Fresh Water Demand

For mines located in dry or water-stressed regions, every drop matters. Bluwat PAM helps operators recycle more water from tailings, reducing both:

• Fresh water consumption
• Tailings dam pressure and environmental risk

Many clients achieve 70–85% water recovery, significantly cutting water costs and supporting long-term sustainability goals.

3. Lower Chemical Dosage, Lower Operating Cost

PAM is powerful even at low dosages. With our optimized formulations, mines benefit from:

• Lower flocculant consumption per ton of solids
• Less sludge volume to handle and dispose
• Reduced pumping and thickener load
• Shorter filter-press cycle time and higher throughput

The result is a more efficient operation with a lower total cost of ownership.

4. Reliable Performance Across Different Ores

Bluwat offers a complete range of anionic, cationic, and non-ionic PAM grades developed specifically for different ore bodies and process conditions, including:

• Iron ore
• Copper and gold tailings
• Lead and zinc mines
• Coal washeries
• Phosphate and bauxite
• Rare earth and polymetallic ores

Our technical team matches the right grade through jar testing and on-site optimization to ensure maximum performance under the specific pH, temperature, and solids conditions at each plant.

5. Environment-Focused Formulations

Modern mines face increasingly strict environmental regulations and community expectations. Bluwat’s mining-grade PAM focuses on:

• Low residual monomer content
• High floc strength and good shear resistance
• Excellent water clarity and reduced turbidity
• Minimal impact on downstream water quality

These features support compliance with stricter effluent limits and help mines progress towards zero-liquid-discharge (ZLD) and closed-loop water systems.
