Heap Leach Mining

Geomembranes for Heap Leaching 

Heap leaching, a cornerstone in the mining industry for extracting valuable metals from low-grade ores, relies heavily on the efficiency and reliability of geomembrane liners. At EPI, we understand the critical role our geomembrane solutions play in the success of heap leaching operations for metals like copper, gold, silver, and beyond.

The EPI Advantage in Heap Leaching

Our geomembranes are engineered to meet the stringent demands of heap leaching processes. From resisting aggressive chemical agents to enduring extreme weather conditions, our liners ensure operational integrity and environmental compliance. Here's why EPI geomembranes are the go-to choice for heap leaching applications:

• Chemical Resistance: Our liners are formulated to withstand the harsh chemicals used in metal extraction processes. Whether it's the acidity of the leaching solution or the presence of solvents, our geomembranes retain their physical and mechanical properties, preventing leaks and contamination.

• Durability Against Environmental Stress: EPI's geomembranes are designed to perform under a wide range of temperatures and UV exposure levels. This resilience ensures a prolonged service life, even in the most challenging environments, securing your investment and minimizing maintenance.

• Optimal Strength and Flexibility: The strength of our liners is matched by their flexibility, enabling easy installation over irregular heap shapes and sizes. This adaptability reduces installation time and costs while ensuring a snug fit that minimizes the risk of tears and leaks.

• Sustainable Operations: By capturing leachate efficiently and facilitating its reuse in the leaching process, our geomembranes contribute to the sustainability of mining operations. This not only helps in conserving water but also in reducing the environmental footprint of metal extraction activities.

• Tailored Solutions: Recognizing that each heap leach project has its unique challenges, we offer customization options. From panel sizes to material specifications, our solutions are tailored to meet your specific requirements, ensuring optimal performance and cost-efficiency.
