FLOMIN™ RMA

Rheology Modifiers for Slurry Transportation & Gold Leaching

In modern mining, high-viscosity slurries create significant operational hurdles from astronomical pumping costs and water scarcity to inhibited chemical reactions in leaching circuits. FLOMIN™ RMA is an advanced rheology modifier specifically engineered to reduce yield stress and optimize pulp flow, transforming these challenges into strategic advantages

Product Overview

What is FLOMIN™ RMA designed for?

FLOMIN™ RMA is a rheology‑modifying agent engineered to reduce slurry viscosity and yield stress in demanding mining environments. By altering the internal structure of ore and tailings slurries, it promotes smoother flow, greater transport efficiency, and more stable process conditions—especially in high‑solids operations.

In hydrometallurgical circuits, FLOMIN™ RMA improves the chemical and physical environment inside cyanide leaching tanks by preventing fine‑particle agglomeration and reducing slime coatings. This enhances the contact between cyanide and gold, increases oxygen dispersion, and supports more complete dissolution even in difficult, clay‑rich or viscous ores.

Through its combined effects on flow, mixing, dispersion and particle behavior, FLOMIN™ RMA helps mining operations reduce energy consumption, improve metallurgical reactions and stabilize overall process performance.

Application

Where / How FLOMIN™ RMA is typically used

FLOMIN™ RMA is used across mining circuits where slurry rheology affects pumping efficiency, solids handling, or gold extraction performance.

Long‑Distance Slurry & Tailings Transport
By lowering yield stress and improving particle dispersion, RMA enables stable high‑solids transportation over long distances with less friction, lower pumping energy, improved water efficiency and more reliable plant performance.

CIL/CIP Cyanide Leaching Circuits
In leaching tanks, FLOMIN™ RMA enhances cyanide–gold contact and increases oxygen availability by reducing viscosity and preventing slime or clay coatings. This minimizes preg‑robbing effects, improves mixing uniformity, and supports faster and more complete gold dissolution.

Together, these applications allow mining operations to handle denser slurries, reduce operational bottlenecks, and increase metallurgical efficiency across both transport and extraction stages.
