After Max-Emitter Conversion, 7 New Monthly Production Records Set — Gold Extraction Increases 26% preview
Case Study

After Max-Emitter Conversion, 7 New Monthly Production Records Set — Gold Extraction Increases 26%

After Max-Emitter conversion in 2003 at a major South American gold mine, 7 consecutive monthly production records were set. First quarter 2004 results confirmed a 26% gold extraction increase compared to pre-Max-Emitter performance.

Case Study

Max-Emitter Conversion Increases Copper Extraction 18% And Brings Electrowinning Tankhouse To 100% Capacity

After switching away from Max-Emitter to cheaper agricultural emitters, copper extraction dropped 18%. After converting back to Max-Emitter, extraction recovered fully and the electrowinning tankhouse reached 100% capacity for the first time in years.

Max-Emitter Conversion Results In 10% Gold Extraction Increase At Major U.s. Gold Operation

A major gold operation in the U.S. converted from agricultural drip emitters to the Max-Emitter after repeated plugging failures. Monthly gold production increased 10% — the only explanation was the change in drip emitters.

Max-Emitter Outperforms Competition In Peru Gold Mine Test With Only 5% Plugging

A Peruvian gold mine conducted a 60-day leach cycle test of the Max-Emitter and two other leading brands in early 2013. The Max-Emitter had only 5% plugging while competitors saw 30–40% plugging.
