Our Solutions

Process Optimisation

The application of expert domain knowledge allows Xtropy to develop unique and actionable insights into operations. Plant optimisation and improvement is achieved on the plant by integrating our optimisation cycle into our plant operation structures using the insights generated as input. The result is a perpetual re-enforcing loop that drives continuous improvement with the aim of achieving operational excellence.

Xtropy Solutions Oxide Flotation

Oxide Flotation

Specialised technology that allows for the flotation oxide particles. Highly effective at recovery of metal oxides, i.e. fine chrome, copper and PGM slags, copper and nickel oxides. Xtropy has successfully developed and patented a novel process for the recovery of fine chrome using flotation that requires zero pH modification.

Ultra-fine Particle Recovery

Xtropy have developed a ultra-fine particle recovery process that is highly effective at selectively recovering fine particles in the sub-25 micron size range.

Xtropy Solutions Dual Recovery Solutions

Dual Recovery Solutions

Xtropy have developed and a novel process for the recovery of sulphide and oxide minerals through flotation. The process has been proven to be especially effective in recovery of fine PGM and Chromite.

Modular Solutions

Xtropy offer our clients scalable modular solutions that significantly reduce the capital and time required to implement mineral processing solutions.

Operations Management

Our core business is the operations of plants to ensure optimal operation and operational excellence. Our operating model is based on a cost plus model where we only benefit if our clients benefit. Our approach to plant operation is grounded in obtaining data through our data management platform and using domain expertise to add context to the data. The data management platform also allows for the remote monitoring, support and optimisation of our plants.

We immerse ourselves in our client’s operations through a boots-on-the ground approach which allows for effective change management and sustainable solutions.

Xtropy Technologies

Xtropy have pioneered a new oxide flotation process that is highly effective at recovering oxidized minerals.

Xtropy offer our clients modular mineral processing solutions that are highly effective at recovering fine and coarse particles.

Plant Optimisation

Xtropy’s optimization strategy begins with gathering process information and building a model. Our expert domain knowledge then transforms this data into actionable insights for the optimization strategy. Through a hands-on approach, we drive accountability and skills transfer to implement the strategy. This cycle perpetually repeats, ensuring continuous optimization.

Operations Management


Xtropy provides a cost-effective Plant Operating Model, where we only gain when our clients benefit. You can choose between a total operating solution or a managed solution. With the managed option, our highly skilled domain experts ensure optimal process operation, maximizing value for you.
