The case study
A Peruvian gold mine conducted a 60-day leach cycle test of the Max-Emitter and two other leading brands of emitterline in early 2013. At the end of the leach cycle, the Max-Emitter had the best results with only 5% plugging after 60 days while the other brands saw 30% and 40% plugging. The Max-Emitter dramatically outperformed the competition in plug resistance and uniform leach solution distribution resulting in increased ore extraction from the leach pad.
