Recovering More While Reducing Waste
The evolution of TNS™ technology now extends beyond dewatering to include metal recovery equipment and reagent management, addressing a critical industry need for integrated, high-efficiency processing.
TNS™ significantly boosts throughput and operational efficiency, often exceeding performance by an order of magnitude on existing infrastructure. It also delivers consistent, high-performance dewatering, regardless of mineralogy or clay content, while improving overall water recovery.
This makes TNS™ a powerful solution for maximizing resource recovery, minimizing waste, and enhancing process sustainability across a wide range of ore types and operating conditions.
Technology for Modern Mining Operations
The Extrakt™ technology suite offers a high-performance alternative for operations constrained by the limits of conventional cyanide leaching.
This non-cyanide leach solution reduces both CapEx and OpEx while enhancing metal recovery across diverse ore types and particle sizes. It also supports dry-stacked tailings, enabling a smaller environmental footprint and greater operational throughput.
Designed for scalability and reliability, Extrakt™ provides a more efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective path forward for modern mining operations seeking to move beyond traditional methods.
Advanced Tailings Solutions with Global Impact
Extrakt Process Solutions has developed a proprietary process for tailings dewatering that consistently delivers geotechnically stable tailings, regardless of mineralogy or high clay content. At the core of this innovation is TNS™ chemistry—a next-generation advancement in liquid-solid separation.
Originally developed and patented in 2016, TNS™ technology has since evolved into a global intellectual property portfolio, encompassing over 40 patents worldwide.
To accelerate global deployment, Extrakt has established a strategic alliance with Bechtel, combining cutting-edge chemistry with world-class engineering to address the industry’s most pressing challenges in tailings management and water recovery.
Proven Performance in Gold Ore Processing
TNS™ technology delivers a step-change in performance, dramatically reducing filtration times and enhancing gold recovery efficiency.
In a field test with a major equipment supplier, TNS™ reduced filtration time for difficult tailings from 25 minutes to just 2.5 minutes, while providing high cake density and low cake moisture content
Additionally, over 35 tests conducted for mining companies showed up to a 10% increase in pregnant solution recovery due to enhanced dewatering, with projected gold yield improvements of 8% to 13%.
Our leaching process uses less harmful chemicals than the conventional cyanide leaching process and reduces the cost of chemicals used during leaching.
Unlike conventional separation systems, our solution delivers faster solids settling and efficient dewatering through advanced chemistry that enhances hydraulic conductivity.
