MODULAR PLANTS
Modular plants are self contained or are integrated into
conventional plants. They are used for prospecting,
exploration, research and testing, mining and mineral
processing on land or sea. The process design is robust
and makes use of best available components from
reputable suppliers that support their products
worldwide. Modular plants are easy to erect on site since
they are trial erected and pre-commissioned at the
factory, where they are marked, stripped and packed into
containers, prior to dispatch to site.
Modular plants are used in the beneficiation and recovery
of a wide range of commodities, including diamonds,
coal, graphite, copper, magnesite, andalusite, chromite,
iron ore, platinum and gold.

SX and EW
Innovative SX and EW solutions and technologies:
• Bateman Pulsed Columns: a high-efficiency, cost effective, continuous contactor for solvent extraction, stripping and scrub applications in metal recovery systems.
• Bateman Settlers™ provide substantial operational
and performance benefits, enabling side-by-side
orientation of pump mixers, thereby reducing capital
costs and providing improved access for operators.
• Turbulent Technologies Mixing System: a new mixing
technology enabling significant reduction of entrainment without changing the process flow and can be
retro-fitted easily to most existing mixer settlers or
installed in new SX plants.
• Tank houses of all sizes, from those for small operations
to large-scale, manual and automated systems.
Bateman Cross Flow electrolytic cells provide an
improved electrolyte distribution flow pattern around
each cathode, resulting in improved cathode quality.
Applications include:
• Conventional water treatment
– Potable water treatment
– Sewage water treatment
– Sludge dewatering
•
Industrial water treatment
– Effluent treatment
– Ion exchange
– Membrane desalination
– Process water treatment
– Acid mine drainage water treatment
– Boiler feedwater preparation
ION EXCHANGE
Advanced processes for recovering, upgrading,
separating and purifying metals and minerals using
resins. Along with conventional fixed bed ion exchange
and NIMCIX fluidised bed technologies, Tenova Bateman
Technologies offers solutions based on the proprietary
MetRIX™ Resin-in-Pulp technology, which offers both
continuous adsorption and elution.
The RIP (Resin in Pulp) process recovers metals directly
from slurries, which:
• Eliminates the need for a solid-liquid separation step
• Offers significant capital and operating cost savings
• Offers the potential of increased metal recovery
RIP has found application in the gold and uranium
industries and has been evaluated for the recovery of
platinum group metals (PGMs), cobalt, copper, nickel,
zinc, rare earth elements and vanadium from leached
slurry or residue streams.
BIO SX
Process and technology development services including
lab and pilot plant studies for the downstream separation
of bio-based chemicals and pharmaceutical industries,
including environmental projects, with special emphasis
on separation by solvent extraction (SX).
Bio-based chemicals and bio-fuels are fundamental
components of future sustainable chemical production.
Selective recovery and purification of bio-based
chemicals are critical stages that impact both the
feasibility of the process as well as the value and cost of
its products. Tenova Bateman Technologies, with its vast
experience and proprietary technologies in the field of
solvent extraction, offers robust, low maintenance, small
footprint solutions with high yields.
SULPHURIC ACID PLANTS
Comprehensive process design and project management
skills to establish sulphuric acid facilities including the
associated gas cleaning operations, utilising metallurgical
processing off-gas, sulphur burning or pyrite roasting.
Our extensive in-house processing technologies, in addition
to technology marketing agreements with leading
technology suppliers, gives Tenova Bateman Technologies
access to the full range of proprietary technology and
equipment for the execution of sulphuric acid plant design
and construction projects.
PURIFIED PHOSPHORIC ACID
Tenova Bateman Technologies provides the full suite of
technologies required for the production of phosphoric
acid, including the solvent extraction stages, acid
purification and concentration, and excess chloride
removal to produce high quality food or agricultural grade
phosphoric acid. The data acquisition during the process
development stage is continuously monitored and
improved in order to ensure reliable plant design
information.
• Pre-treatment – impurity removal such as sulphates,
cadmium, fluorides and arsenic
• Purification – using proprietary solvent extraction
processes and selection of the optimal solvent for the
purification stage
• Post-treatment – bringing the product to its final
specification through concentration, solvent recovery
and the reduction of total organic carbon
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Tenova Bateman Technologies has in-house
laboratory and pilot plant facilities for solvent
extraction, purified phosphoric acid and mineral
beneficiation test work.
Pilot scale modular SX and RIP plants can be
supplied based on client requirements for process
verification and scaling up test work.
Tenova Bateman Technologies has agreements in
place with research institutions such as Mintek in
South Africa for the development of various
technologies and actively co-operates with centres
of higher learning around the world on projects of
mutual interest to us and our clients.
PHOSPHATE BENEFICIATION
Tenova Bateman Technologies provides the full suite
of technologies for the beneficiation of phosphate rock
through to the production of phosphate salts. Project
services ranging from process development through
feasibility studies to turnkey projects are provided for:
• Rock-phosphate beneficiation
• Agricultural (wet) phosphoric acid
• Technical (white) phosphoric acid
• Food-grade phosphoric acid
• Downstream phosphate salts
Tenova Bateman Technologies services and technologies:
• Ensure optimal utilisation of phosphate ores in
conventional processes
• Upgrade wet process acid to technical- and foodgrade acid and downstream products
Our team of specialists can offer beneficiation process
development for a range of minerals such as base
metals, industrial and heavy minerals.
