OverviewSefar process filtration solutions support mining and refining operations by matching filter media to process requirements, improving dewatering, yield and uptime while controlling moisture and emissions.
Solutions for efficient, cost-effective and sustainable filtrationSefar supplies filter media for demanding solid-liquid and solid-gas separations across mineral processing, designed to reduce total cost of ownership through extended service life and stable process performance.
Optimized filtration for all mineral processesOur products suit a wide range of mineral streams and operating conditions, enabling continuous operation, improved product clarity and reduced solids loss in downstream processes.
Target Markets & Applications- Alumina — media adapted to the Bayer Process for smelter grade alumina (SGA) and chemical grade alumina (CGA).
- Base & Precious Metals — iron ore, copper, zinc, nickel, gold and other metals (moisture control, reduced solid loss).
- Fertilizers — filter media for acidic and thermal process conditions (acid clarity, phosphate washing, gypsum moisture reduction).
- Titanium Dioxide — media engineered for pigment production clarity and durability.
- Battery Metals — lithium, nickel, cobalt processing (improved purity, recovery and uptime).
- Non‑Metallic Minerals — cement, coal, kaolin, sand (moisture control, extended life, reliability).
