Project: Newmont Batu Hijau
Location: Sumbawa, Indonesia
Project narrative: Diesel fuel, Fluid Cleanliness Management (FCM) site services
Pall Corporation has worked closely with Newmont Nusa Tenggara (NNT) since 2002. The mine
operates a fleet of 111 haul trucks and 50 other heavy equipment-diesel fueled machines around
the clock, with a 250-500 hour scheduled maintenance interval. The diesel distribution network and
remote location of the mine means that the fuel is handled by many intermediaries, which provides
opportunities for contaminant ingress. Contaminated fuel can cause the on-board fuel filters to block
before the scheduled maintenance intervals, resulting in a loss of power, slower haul times, lower
production rates and often costly unscheduled downtime. Contaminated fuel can also result in
premature fuel injector and fuel pump failure, with potentially very high repair costs for parts, labor
and downtime.
Pall Corporation designed, supplied and commissioned a bulk fuel filtration system for the mine to
protect the entire fleet against any upstream fuel contamination. All fuel to the haul trucks and
mining equipment is consistently polished to ISO 18/14/10 cleanliness. Since the installation of the
Pall Ultipleat® Diesel fuel filtration system, the mine has operated without any disruption to
machinery productivity. This has occurred despite a number of major upstream fuel problems that
were detected and corrected by the Pall equipment (in the early days over 6kg of contamination
were removed in a single day!)
NNT has also engaged Pall Corporation for other Fluid Cleanliness Management solutions including
filters and air breathers for bulk oil tank farms, remote lube storage and dispensing systems, filter
carts, portable oil systems, heavy equipment refueling and lube service trucks, and 'on board'
applications on mining equipment. Pall also provided FCM training of site personnel, FCM auditing
and reporting procedures, and design assistance for existing and new applications.

Project: Barrick Cowal Gold
Location: Lake Cowal, Australia
Project Narrative: Cone Crusher Lubricant Filtration Retrofit
Pall Corporation has worked closely with Barrick Cowal maintenance personnel since the construction
phase began in 2005 and has been asked to consult on numerous applications. We encountered a
particularly challenging application on Sandvik pebble crushers where the severe operating environment
caused high contaminant ingression into the crusher lubricant.
Analysis of lubricant cleanliness shortly after commissioning of the crushers proved this to be the case.
The lubricant samples showed consistent, high contamination levels (ISO 22/18).
After consultation with Barrick reliability personnel, we recommended installing long-life (high filtration
area) Pall Ultipleat® SRT UR699-40” filters in the main circuit where they would see full system flow.
The Pall filters displaced the OEM supplied filtration system. In addition, the Pall filters included
differential pressure indicators that interfaced with the OEM control / alarm panel / PLC and provided
notification of when the filters needed to be serviced.
Installation of the Ultipleat SRT UR699 series filters significantly improved crusher lubricant cleanliness
while achieving longer service life than the OEM filters. There was a 128 times reduction in particles
>5 microns and a 64 times reduction in particles >15 microns (from ISO 22/18 to ISO 15/12). This not
only extended fluid life, but also reduced filtration cost and yielded a significant reduction in oil
replacement. As a result, equipment availability and productivity was markedly improved.
Project: Joy Mining Machinery
Location: South Africa
Project Narrative: Hydraulics – continuous miner bolters
Designing continuous miner bolters for underground coal mining presents many unique challenges.
Joy Mining Machinery decided to simplify the hydraulic circuits of its miner bolters as much as
possible by using integrated manifolds to combine many individual parts into one common body.
Joy wanted the filtration for these circuits to follow the same philosophy.
Pall Corporation worked with Joy to incorporate Ultipleat® SRT filtration technology into a number of
different filter manifolds for pressure, return, bypass and non-bypass applications, with two or three
filters on each manifold block. The manifolds have upstream and downstream tappings to allow
remote filter blockage indicators to be installed in any location. The Ultipleat SRT filters significantly
improved the hydraulic oil cleanliness. There was a 16 times reduction in particles >5 microns and
an 8 times reduction in particles >15 microns (from ISO 18/15 to ISO 14/12). This cleaner oil can
extend hydraulic component life as much as 3x and helps protect against fluid-related warranty
claims. The Ultipleat SRT elements also lasted about twice as long as the previous filters and cut the
annual cost of filtration nearly in half. These benefits also allow the owner of the machine to enjoy
increased availability and productivity.
Pall Corporation also works with Joy in the USA, UK, and Australia to help achieve consistent mine
site fluid cleanliness and reduce warranty claims for mining, coal handling, and longwall machinery.

Project: Newcrest Cadia Ridgeway Mines
Location: Australia, NSW
Project Narrative: Lubrication on crushers and grinding mills
Newcrest is Australia's largest gold producer and one of the world's lowest cost gold producers. The
Cadia Ridgeway mine has one of the world’s largest SAG mills in a processing plant operating at 17
million tons per annum (Mtpa). SAG and ball mills with up to 20MW drives are also on site, with gyratory
and cone crushers for both surface and underground ore processing.
Pall was engaged from the plant design stage to design fluid contamination control into the lube and
hydraulic systems. Crusher lube systems have full-flow 185 GPM duplex pressure filters to allow
uninterrupted operation while changing out blocked filters. Grinding mills have full flow high pressure
filters to protect flow dividers and trunnion bearings and high flow / high volume kidney loop filters to
polish the oil. All lube systems are fitted with water sensors in the return oil pipes to allow immediate
detection of any water ingress. Any water entering the oil system is removed with a mobile Pall vacuum
dehydration oil purifier that is shared between the mills and crushers.
In the processing plant’s 12 years of operation, the mine has never had any failures or damage related to
contaminated lube oils, despite the inherently severe operating conditions and seal failures that are
common on such machines. Mill trunnion bearing, gearboxes and motor bearings oil systems are
maintained at ISO 14/12 cleanliness.
Other Newcrest operations at Telfer in WA and Hidden Valley in PNG use Pall Fluid Cleanliness
Management (FCM) to ensure the integrity of the fluids which are the lifeblood of their mission critical
machinery.
Project: Alaska Gold Company
Location: Nome, Alaska
Project Narrative: Water treatment – treatment of coal mine pit water
In 2007 Pall Corporation supplied two Pall Aria™ AP-4 skidded microfiltration (MF) systems to
Alaska Gold Company located in Nome, Alaska to treat pit dewatering water containing arsenic
concentrations above 170 ppb. Total flow was 800 gpm.
Tetra Tech was the engineering company responsible for the design and construction of the plant.
Tetra Tech conducted on-site bench scale testing and, with Pall process engineers, determined an
optimal dosing treatment process for both arsenic and antimony removal.
The full-scale treatment plant utilizes pretreatment with ozone and primary settling in two plate
clarifiers followed by the two Pall Aria AP-4 microfiltration skids in parallel.
The remote aspects of Nome, Alaska led to challenging construction conditions. Tanks and all piping
over 4000 linear feet were heat traced and insulated. The water treatment plant was successfully
integrated into the mine process through a common SCADA system.

The Cadia Ridgeway mine has one of the world’s largest SAG mills in a processing plant operating at 17 million tons per annum (Mtpa). SAG and ball mills with up to 20MW drives are also on site, with gyratory and cone crushers for both surface and underground ore processing. Pall was engaged from the plant design stage to design fluid contamination control into the lube and hydraulic systems. Crusher lube systems have full-flow 185 GPM duplex pressure filters to allow uninterrupted operation while changing out blocked filters. Grinding mills have full flow high pressure filters to protect flow dividers and trunnion bearings and high flow / high volume kidney loop filters to polish the oil. All lube systems are fitted with water sensors in the return oil pipes to allow immediate detection of any water ingress. Any water entering the oil system is removed with a mobile Pall vacuum dehydration oil purifier that is shared between the mills and crushers. In the processing plant’s 12 years of operation, the mine has never had any failures or damage related to contaminated lube oils, despite the inherently severe operating conditions and seal failures that are common on such machines. Mill trunnion bearing, gearboxes and motor bearings oil systems are maintained at ISO 14/12 cleanliness. Other Newcrest operations at Telfer in WA and Hidden Valley in PNG use Pall Fluid Cleanliness Management (FCM) to ensure the integrity of the fluids which are the lifeblood of their mission critical machinery.

    Project: Alaska GoldCompany Location: Nome, Alaska Project Narrative: Water treatment – treatment of coal mine pit water In 2007 Pall Corporation supplied two Pall Aria™ AP-4 skidded microfiltration (MF) systems to Alaska Gold Company located in Nome, Alaska to treat pit dewatering water containing arsenic concentrations above 170 ppb. Total flow was 800 gpm. Tetra Tech was the engineering company responsible for the design and construction of the plant. Tetra Tech conducted on-site bench scale testing and, with Pall process engineers, determined an optimal dosing treatment process for both arsenic and antimony removal. The full-scale treatment plant utilizes pretreatment with ozone and primary settling in two plate clarifiers followed by the two Pall Aria AP-4 microfiltration skids in parallel. The remote aspects of Nome, Alaska led to challenging construction conditions. Tanks and all piping over 4000 linear feet were heat traced and insulated. The water treatment plant was successfully integrated into the mine process through a common SCADA system. Representative Projects
