Skid Containers: Tests and Laboratory for On-Site Piloting

Carry out your tests and pilot operations directly on site with mobile skid-mounted containers and validate your processes under real industrial conditions.

    • Validate your processes on real matrices, not only on simulants
    • Test your solutions efficiently without requiring dedicated on-site infrastructure
    • Reduce uncertainties linked to impurities or complex parameters in your effluents and ores (suspended solids, ore fines, viscosity, impurities)
    • Limit the risks associated with transporting sensitive materials
    • Collaborate closely with a technical partner capable of quickly adapting to your needs
    • Access two mobile 20-foot ISO containers designed for your trials: one pilot skid and one laboratory
    • Conduct your tests directly on site, considering all real constraints (impurities, viscosity, suspended solids, high acidity)
    • Benefit from total flexibility: more than ten technologies can be integrated depending on your needs (leaching, solid-liquid separation, SX, IX, precipitation)
    • Develop your process flow sheets step by step, from bench-scale trials to continuous pilot operations
    • Work in close collaboration with your teams, enabling fast adaptation to evolutions and efficient co-development
    • Secure your trials with the potential support of CIME’s analytical laboratory for complex studies
    2 custom-made mobile containers
    +40 years of experience in hydro-metallurgy
    • Two 20-foot ISO containers: one laboratory and one pilot skid
    • Flow rate range: from 20 mL/h to several L/h
    • More than ten technologies integrable into the skids
