Hydrometallurgy

Where it applies

KGS develops integrated hydrometallurgical process solutions to recover valuable metals and compounds from ores, concentrates, industrial residues and secondary resources. Combining process chemistry, separation technologies and engineering expertise, we design solutions that maximise metal recovery, achieve target product purity and support efficient, sustainable operations.

Target Metals & Resources

Gallium, Scandium, Hafnium, Indium, Rare Earth Elements, Titanium, Vanadium, Molybdenum, Nickel and other valuable metals recovered from ores, concentrates and industrial residues.

Scope
  • Leaching & Process Chemistry: Leach process development, reagent optimisation and reaction kinetics.
  • Separation & Purification: Solvent extraction, ion exchange and selective metal separation.
  • Product Recovery: Precipitation, crystallisation and chemical refining.
  • Electrowinning & Metal Refining: Recovery of metals from process solutions to meet product specifications.
  • Effluent & Residue Management: Process water treatment and responsible management of raffinate and metallurgical residues.

Pyrometallurgy

Where it applies

KGS develops process-driven pyrometallurgical solutions for metal extraction, recovery and refining through controlled thermal processing. From roasting and calcination to smelting, reduction and fuming, we integrate process design, furnace selection and heat and mass balance to optimise metal recovery, product quality and energy efficiency.

Applications

Ferroalloys, metal extraction and refining, non-ferrous metal recovery, slag processing and the recovery of valuable metals from industrial residues.

Scope
  • Roasting & Calcination: Thermal treatment to prepare feed materials for downstream processing.
  • Smelting & Slag Engineering: Furnace process design and slag optimisation for efficient metal separation and recovery.
  • Carbothermic Reduction: Reduction of metal oxides using carbon-based reducing agents.
  • Fuming & Volatilisation: Recovery of valuable metals through selective volatilisation and fume collection.
  • Off-Gas & Heat Recovery: Process gas management, waste heat recovery and energy optimisation.

Material Handling

Where it applies

KGS delivers integrated material handling solutions engineered for efficient, reliable and continuous plant operations. From conveyor system design to complete bulk material handling systems, we optimise material flow, minimise spillage and blockages, and improve overall plant performance through practical, application-specific engineering.

Conveyor System Engineering

We specialise in the design and engineering of a wide range of conveyor systems, tailored to material characteristics, capacity requirements, conveying distance, route profile and site conditions. Our solutions integrate reliable equipment selection, optimised routing and efficient transfer arrangements to ensure dependable material movement.

Our conveyor expertise includes
  • Trough Belt Conveyors
  • Pipe Conveyors
  • Chain Conveyors
  • Pellet Conveyors
  • Rope Conveyors
  • Specialised and Custom-Designed Conveying Systems
Materials Handled

Ores, coal, minerals, concentrates, pellets, aggregates, industrial by-products and other bulk materials.

Scope
  • Transfer Points & Chute Design: Engineered chute geometry and transfer arrangements to minimise spillage, blockages, wear and dust generation.
  • Feeding & Screening Systems: Design and integration of belt feeders, apron feeders, vibrating feeders, screens and associated equipment.
  • Stockyard & Bulk Handling Systems: Integration of stacking and reclaiming systems, stockyard machinery, wagon tipplers and related bulk handling equipment.
  • Structural & Civil Integration: Engineering coordination for conveyor galleries, trestles, support structures, foundations and equipment interfaces.

Dedusting & Emission Control

Where it applies

KGS designs and integrates industrial dedusting and emission control systems to minimise fugitive dust, control stack emissions and recover valuable particulate matter. Our solutions are tailored to process requirements, dust characteristics and site conditions, with a focus on environmental compliance, operational reliability and efficient plant integration — including retrofit installations in operating plants.

Scope
  • Emission Assessment: Dust surveys, emission load estimation and system sizing.
