APT’s Elu-X is a new product in the APT range that compliments the APT TriTank CIL and CIP plant systems. The Elu-X is an open Zadra elution system that strips the gold off the loaded carbon that is produced in the TriTank plants and this completes the process. To keep these small scale systems as safe as possible, the Elu-X is non pressurized and thus operates just below boiling point. The result is that an elution cycle lasts typically two days, but the capacity of the units is designed to accommodate this. The advantages of the Elu-X is that it’s geometry is designed to get the maximum reaction activity due to the optimal height to diameter ratio. The entire unit is manufactured from stainless steel and is fully cladded for thermal efficiency. Pump-around is achieved via a totally sealed magnetic drive pump so no annoying pump and piping leaks occur. The gold, once stripped is won from solution in APT’s proprietary ‘kebab’ electrocells, especially designed for this purpose.
