The configuration of a phosphate mine and beneficiation plant with the related material handling facilities is important in optimization of operating cost. We have designed beneficiation plants from simple flowsheets for the removal of gangue minerals by wet or dry screening, to more complex flowsheets utilizing comminution, classification, froth flotation, heavy media separation, and sorting… In addition to the design and operation of beneficiation plants, our experience covers:

• Site selection (plant, waste disposal)
• Material handling and transportation
• Dewatering, disposal, and reclamation of wastes
• Dewatering, preparation, and load-out of product
• Plant water, reclaim water and make-up water systems
• Dust suppression and collection
• Offsites, ancillaries and services.

In today’s global economy, phosphate rock must be produced to meet quality specifications at a competitive price. To assure high performance and low cost, we design modern phosphate beneficiation plants with the following attributes:

• High capacity to obtain economy of scale for construction
• Process technology tailored to efficiently exploit the ore deposit
• Reliable equipment for processing and materials handling
• Effective arrangement of equipment for operation and maintenance.

At JESA, we specialize in integrating geology, mining, and beneficiation with the downstream facilities that process
