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.
    • Custom adaptation according to testing needs and analytical monitoring requirements.
    • Modular skid equipment: 4 ventilated removable units with stainless-steel structures for mixers-settlers, stirring motors, etc.
    • Continuous pilot operation possible: 3×8 h or 5×8 h shifts monitored by technicians.
    • Integrated laboratory: demineralized water station, ventilation, compressor, vacuum pump, additional equipment (portable XRF, colorimeter, turbidimeter, thermogravimetric balance, densimeter, titrator, etc.).
    • Proven robustness: air treatment (VOC filters), air conditioning/heating adapted to weather conditions.
    • Enhanced safety: reduced chemical and radiological risks related to transport.
    • Compliance with environmental and safety standards.
    • Capability to perform tests on real matrices.
