Chingola, in the northern Copperbelt of Zambia, is home to the Nchanga mine, one of the largest open pit copper mines in the world, and a major centre of copper mining, concentrating, and hydrometallurgical processing. The town's economy is built around large scale copper extraction, ore processing, tailings management, and the SX-EW facilities that produce copper cathode. Chingola hosts mining operations, processing plants, engineering support, and mining supply businesses. This concentration of large scale copper mining and processing creates strong demand for slurry valves, knife gate valves, acid service valves, and heavy duty valves engineered for the harsh conditions of open pit mining and hydrometallurgy.
Chingola's open pit mining operations handle massive volumes of ore, dewatering water, and slurry, requiring large diameter, abrasion resistant, and heavy duty valves for dewatering, process water, and slurry systems.
Concentrator plants at Chingola process ore through milling and flotation, handling highly abrasive slurries that require purpose built slurry isolation and control valves able to withstand extreme wear.
Solvent extraction and electrowinning at Chingola produce copper cathode, requiring valves resistant to sulphuric acid, electrolyte, and process chemicals across leach, extraction, and tankhouse systems.
Tailings handling and water management across Chingola's operations require robust valves for tailings slurry, return water, and process water systems handling abrasive and high volume flows.

Slurry and process water isolation. Rubber lining withstands the abrasion of copper concentrate and tailings slurries.
Sulphuric acid and electrolyte service in SX-EW and tankhouse. Lined for corrosion resistance in hydrometallurgy.
Dewatering, process water, and utility isolation for open pit mining and processing at Chingola.
High volume pump protection for dewatering, slurry, and water systems. Ball check for abrasive slurry lines.
Acid and reagent dosing in hydrometallurgy and processing, with lined construction for corrosion resistance.
AQ Process Systems supplies Chingola's large scale copper mining and processing operations with India sourced valves engineered for mining duty, at 25 to 40 percent below Western pricing. India is a major global manufacturer of slurry, knife gate, and mining valves, with proven experience in copper, open pit, and hydrometallurgy applications. We source large diameter, abrasion resistant, and acid resistant valves from certified manufacturers experienced in mining, and supply Chingola's mining supply businesses with certified product for resale. We handle inspection, certification, and export with complete documentation, delivering to the Copperbelt via southern African corridors.
