The AZTEC UpFlow Reactor (AZ-UFR) represents a groundbreaking advancement in gold and metal processing technology. Engineered by AZTEC Mining, the AZ-UFR is designed to suspend solids in slurries and solutions efficiently, ensuring superior ion transfer kinetics and maximised gold recovery. Our patented counter-current flow reactor is the result of years of rigorous engineering and testing, delivering exceptional performance in a compact, cost-effective design.
The AZ-UFR is 8-10 times smaller than conventional tanks, reducing project CAPEX and installation costs.
High solid/liquid ion transfer coefficient and kinetic energy transfer per volume, up to 80 times higher than conventional bulk flow recirculation.
Equipped with high-flow, low-head axial pumps, the AZ-UFR ensures efficient carbon slurry transfer, minimising downtime and improving overall efficiency.
Increase plant revenue with superior gold and metal recovery rates.
Treat lower slurry densities without compromising efficiency, eliminating the need for additional pre-leach thickening.
Seamless restart after power outages and simplified maintenance with replaceable spare parts.
The AZTEC UpFlow Reactor is the ideal choice for stakeholders in the mining industry looking to enhance gold and metal recovery, improve operational efficiency, and reduce environmental impact. Its advanced design and proven performance make it a reliable and cost-effective solution for modern gold processing challenges.
The AZ-UFR enhances ion transfer kinetics, allowing for lower cyanide concentrations and reducing the cost to comply with the international Cyanide Management Code.
The focused energy input in the AZ-UFR’s smaller chamber volume results in more efficient operation and energy use.
The reduced footprint of the AZ-UFR not only lowers project CAPEX but also minimises the land requirement for installation and operation.
