APT pioneered the TriTank system for gold recovery via CIL/CIP in the 1990’s, and it has since become one of our greatest engineering marvels, taking ordinary cyanidation to extraordinary recovery.

The Tritank is used for recovering gold from ores that cannot be readily treated using gravity or other physical processes. Examples include finely disseminated ores and previously treated tailings material. The design incorporates the traditional 6 cyanidation tanks into one single tank, partitioned into 6 individual sectors. The result? Less steel required for manufacture (and thus lower capital cost), smaller footprint, easier materials transfer between sectors, enhanced mixing characteristics, and more.

Pictured below is a small scale TriTank located in Southern Africa which was engineered, installed and commissioned by APT.
