Core Capabilities
LABORATORY TEST WORK
IXT has the laboratory facilities and IX test equipment to perform comprehensive testing that includes:
- Developing of design criteria for IX plant design
- Batch equilibrium tests
- Test work to determine
- loading and elution kinetics,
- resin loading,
- MTZ length
PILOT PLANTS
IXT has the capability to design and construct fixed bed ion exchange pilot plants, as well as CCIX pilot plants. We have a CCIX pilot plant available for rental.
The pilot plants are housed in a six metre shipping container and can be shipped anywhere in the world at short notice.
The pilot container is fully equipped with an MCC, as well as a PLC control panel.
FEASIBILITY STUDIES
IXT can carry out feasibility studies on hydrometallurgical or industrial ion exchange plants, either as stand-alone packages or complete turnkey installations.
PLANT AUDITS
On-site plant audits can be carried out on any ion exchange plant. The audit will determine any of the following:
- Assessing current operational issues being experienced, whether from a quality or throughput point of view
- Determine the optimum operating conditions
- Advise on modifications required to increase capacity, or improve on product quality
