Heap-leach raffinate is a saline, closed-loop process fluid, which is why a no-moving-parts ultrasonic meter with a 15-year battery life matters more here than in a municipal application — nothing in a leach circuit is practical to service mid-cycle. Netafim's mining-rated Octave build (stainless or cast iron body, 16 bar) is the direct answer to that recirculation duty, not a repackaged drinking-water meter.
Every material and product claim on this page traces to real, vendor-published documentation on file with LibertyCES. Chemical compatibility depends on exact concentration, temperature, and duty cycle — confirm current specifications with the manufacturer and request a spec review before final specification.
