The Tonkiri Iron Ore Project is one of the key cooperation projects between China and Sierra Leone. Located in the Tonkiri mining area in the Northern Province of the Republic of Sierra Leone, it is one of the world’s largest single-body magnetite deposits. The second-phase beneficiation project involves the construction of a concentrator with an annual capacity of 12 million tons, designed to mine and process iron ore from the transition zone.
Pulisen Instruments was honored to participate in this multinational project, providing sonar flow meters for the ore-dressing facility. After more than two months of maritime transportation, these devices finally arrived on site just before the inaugural mining ceremony at the Tunkri Liri project.
Immediately after the equipment arrived, our company began making preparations, including dispatching technical personnel to Africa. We also promptly established online communication with the on-site staff to ensure the smooth installation of the sonar flow meters. In early November, our technical colleagues arrived at the Tangkeli site and commenced their over-one-month-long installation, commissioning, and training-and-guidance work.
The sonar flowmeter is the optimal choice for measuring the flow of magnetite-containing slurries, primarily due to its high-precision and highly stable flow measurement technology. The successful application at the Tangkeli Iron Ore Mine further underscores the strength of this technology. Pulsar Instruments will continue to dedicate even greater enthusiasm and more professional services to bringing sonar flowmeters, non-nuclear clamp-on density meters, and a wider range of high-quality online monitoring instruments to mining industries worldwide.
