Magotteaux : Water quality measurements in tough mine sites

At TPS, we create strong partnerships with our customers. Read a customer story below about our relationship with a metallurgist who works with mining projects.

Rugged Field Environment

Slurry Measurements

DO, ORP, and pH

Metallurgist Covey Tan works with Magotteaux on mining-industry projects, using TPS water-quality instruments to test slurry and other liquid samples at mine sites. He regularly utilises the rugged handheld meter and associated sensors (for pH, DO, and ORP) to monitor water and slurry chemistry.

CHALLENGE

Mining site conditions are harsh - often involving rugged, unpredictable environments and complex sample types like slurries.

Gaining accurate water quality measurements in these challenging
slurries/fine-grained rock samples is difficult with standard lab-grade sensors due to field constraints and the demanding nature of mineral-processing fluids.

SOLUTION

Covey used TPS’s Ranger handheld meter together with Ranger-series sensors (pH, DO, ORP) to perform in field measurements.

The Ranger’s rugged design and capability to mix and match sensors allowed him to test multiple parameters in the same sample, even in tough field conditions.

OUTCOME

With the TPS Ranger system, Covey successfully conducted reliable water and slurry quality testing directly on site.
This enabled him to monitor critical parameters (pH, DO, ORP) efficiently under real mining-site conditions,
supporting metallurgical operations with accurate and timely chemistry data.
