CiDRA Minerals Processing recently announced it was awarded a contract for the installation of three flowmeters at AngloGold Ashanti’s Cerro Vanguardia gold and silver mine in Patagonia, Argentina. CiDRA’s SONARtrac systems were chosen by Cerro Vanguardia after a series of performance tests and flowmeter comparisons, and ultimately, the sonar systems were chosen for their reliability and ease of installation. Two of the SONARtrac systems are now installed on the overflow lines from the mill and secondary thickener; while the third meter is awaiting installation on the milling hydrocyclone feed line.

CiDRA’s SONARtrac systems are non-invasive, allowing for quick installation without any process interruption, and provide the reliability, performance, and maintenance-free operation the mine operators required. SONARtrac systems demonstrate very stable output and high levels of performance in the presence of highly variable fluid properties.

AngloGold Ashanti has a 92.5% interest in the mine with the province of Santa Cruz holding the remaining 7.5%.
