At Paterson & Cooke, we understand the challenges of designing reliable slurry transport systems. That’s why our UK office has developed an innovative pipe loop, specifically designed to visually demonstrate the behaviour of settling slurries during pipeline flow. View a video of how we use a safe mix of water and coloured beads to effectively simulate slurry dynamics.

Reduction of strength losses in paste backfill with sludge cake
In a study by P&C for a future mine located in the Iberian Pyrite Belt, an investigation into the addition of the mine waste water treatment precipitated cake (sludge cake) in the CPB was conducted in parallel to testing CBP without the inclusion of sludge cake (i.e. 100% tailings).
