Challenges
Application rates for leach solutions are designed to optimize metals recovery and minimize chemical consumption. Critical aspects of heap leach design are depth of ore, presence of water/solution, and local terrain conditions. Run of Mine (ROM) material or dump leach piles, segregate layers of coarse and fine textured material during material placement. Leaching solutions flow more readily in the more conductive layers, potentially leaving areas within the heap un-leached. As the trend of larger and deeper leach piles increases, this condition becomes more prevalent resulting in channeling within the piles.
Channeling occurs
The effective flow area for most leaching emitters are so small they often require filtration of 150 or finer mesh. The larger nozzle orifice sizes, 3/32" to 1/8", of the mini-Wobbler help minimize clogging without requiring expensive filtration.

Portable pipe
(Gold/Silver Mining) 3/4" NPT male base, nozzle #9 (9/64") Senninger Part-Circle Impact Sprinklers, when coupled to a portable pipe system provide the best and most flexible option to leach side slopes or keep dust under control. Eliminates costly mobile watering Conserves water Increases coverage efficiency Allows dust control automation Side slope leaching option

Evaporation
(Gold/Silver/Copper Mining) Evaporation through a sprinkler nozzle is a function of nozzle size and pressure.Typically this requires high pressure which necessitates higher energy costs. Senninger Super Spray UP3TM with the evaporation pad can be used at pressures as low as 20 psi (1.5 bar) or as high as 80 psi (6.0 bar) with nozzle sizes from 5/32" (3.97 mm) and larger.
