Mining Process Water Filtration Systems for Abrasive Duty
Mine water eats equipment. Harmsco mining process water filtration systems remove abrasive fines from process water, gland seal water, dust-suppression supply and treated discharge — protecting high-pressure pumps, spray nozzles and instrumentation from the grit that drives maintenance downtime. The patented Hurricane® up-flow design separates dense solids by cyclonic action before the cartridge, a decisive advantage where solids loading would exhaust ordinary filters in hours.
From Gland Water to Discharge Compliance
Clean gland seal water multiplies pump life. Filtered dust-suppression water keeps nozzles open. And polishing filtration ahead of discharge helps meet suspended-solids permit limits. Harmsco stainless housings cover all three, from single-cartridge points of protection to 2,400 GPM plant systems, rated to 150 PSI and built to ASME standards.
Mine Site Benefits
- Extend pump seal and nozzle life by removing abrasive fines
- Cyclonic pre-separation slashes cartridge consumption on high-solids water
- 316/316L and epoxy-coated housings for acidic and corrosive water
- Simple swing-bolt service — no special tools underground or at altitude
- Made in the USA since 1958
Mining process water filtration systems from Harmsco typically deploy Hurricane® Swing Bolt housings with heavy-duty pleated cartridges selected for particle size and chemistry.
