Kambuzi Mine, Munyati — 50 t/day CIP plant

A 50-ton-per-day carbon-in-pulp plant — tanks, mill, and containment fabricated, installed, and commissioned on the ground.

The works

Elandridge delivered a 50 t/day CIP plant at Kambuzi Mine in the Munyati area. The sequence is the same as any plant we build: fabricate the tanks and mill, set them on the pad, pipe the circuit, and line the ponds that close the process.

01

Fabrication

Tanks are rolled, welded, and checked on the floor before they go up. Conical bottoms, support legs, and the mill sit in the yard as steelwork — this is the plant before it is a circuit.

  • CIP tanks lying on their sides at Kambuzi before erection
  • Measuring a CIP tank during fabrication
  • Welding inside a CIP tank shell
  • Tank fabrication on the pad at Kambuzi
  • Fitting tank plates on the plant foundation
  • Assembling a tank on the CIP plant pad
  • Ball mill for the Kambuzi CIP plant

02

Installation

Steel leaves the floor and goes onto the pad. Power follows the plant: a transformer onto the site so the mill and agitators have something to run on.

  • Placing a transformer at the Kambuzi CIP plant

03

CIP circuit

Adsorption tanks, walkways, piping, and pumps as a working 50 t/day carbon-in-pulp circuit. This is the plant in place at Kambuzi — not a drawing of one.

  • CIP adsorption tanks on the pad at Kambuzi Mine
  • Blue CIP tanks, stairs and walkways at Kambuzi
  • CIP tank train at the Kambuzi plant
  • CIP tanks, piping and walkways at Kambuzi Mine
  • Completed 50 t/day CIP plant at Kambuzi Mine
  • Process pump skid at the Kambuzi CIP plant
  • Operating a CIP tank at Kambuzi Mine

04

Containment

Geomembrane on the process ponds so solution stays in the circuit. The liner is the last civil work that makes the plant a closed system.

  • Laying geomembrane on a process pond at Kambuzi
  • Crew installing pond liner at the Kambuzi CIP plant
  • Lined process pond at Kambuzi Mine
