Ecocene - NatureTech Enhanced Ecocene is Revolutionising the Use of Nature Tech in Biodiversity Management for Mining Ecocene is reshaping how biodiversity is monitored and managed across the mining and energy sectors. As a leading Australian nature tech company, Ecocene works with major operators including BHP, Rio Tinto, Roy Hill, Santos, Woodside and Chevron to deliver data-driven ecological insights that support informed decision-making and stronger environmental outcomes. Rising Standards in Ecological Performance Global frameworks, such as the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, are driving a shift in expectations around biodiversity accountability. Mining and energy companies are increasingly embedding ecological monitoring into operational planning and performance reporting. “Traditional field ecology remains essential,” says Ecocene...

Crushing It: How Rhino Linings Takes the Hit So Your Equipment Doesn’t In the demanding world of mining, equipment durability and reliability are not just goals—they're necessities. Mining operations expose machinery to extreme conditions, including abrasive materials, heavy impacts, and corrosive environments. Protecting these valuable assets is paramount to ensure operational efficiency and longevity. Enter Rhino Linings, a leader in premium protective coatings since 1988, offering robust solutions tailored for the mining industry. The Mining Challenge: Harsh Conditions Demand Superior Protection Mining equipment faces relentless challenges daily. From the abrasive wear of constant material handling to the corrosive effects of moisture and chemicals, the operational environment is unforgiving. Unprotected machinery can suffer from accelerated wear and tear, leading to frequent...

Challenges and Solutions in Pumping Iron Ore Slurry The pumping of iron ore slurry presents a unique set of challenges due to the abrasive nature of the material and the demanding conditions under which the pumps operate. Iron ore slurry is a dense and abrasive mixture of finely ground iron ore and water, which requires specialised equipment to ensure efficient and reliable transportation. Common Issues Faced with Slurry Pumping Abrasion and Erosion: The high abrasiveness of iron ore slurry can cause severe wear and tear on pump components, leading to frequent maintenance and reduced lifespan of the equipment. Corrosion: In the Pilbara and Goldfields regions of Western Australia, where water contains both bacteria and high salinity, the combination of iron...
