Keeping water, mining & industry running.
Treatment chemicals, dosing equipment, valves, laboratory test work and full plant operation, from a single, accountable partner.
Engineers first.
Suppliers second.
Uptime Supplies is a chemical supply and process consulting company based in Chile.
Our team brings together specialists from several disciplines, including qualified, professionally registered engineers who have held senior positions in multinational organisations.
That depth of experience in potable water, industrial and mining applications means we select products that meet both the economic and the engineering requirements of each site, not just the specification sheet.
Solving solid / liquid separation for Chile and Latin America
We are driven to meet the challenges of solid / liquid separation, process technology and screening faced by the minerals processing and potable water industries.
Through ongoing research and development we will expand our range to include flotation reagents and keep developing new flocculant products that meet the exact specifications of our clients.
Products designed around your process
Our R&D team of engineers and chemists combines close client understanding with science and technology to create effective, application-specific products.
With deep knowledge of solid / liquid separation process design, the team troubleshoots site-specific problems and keeps thickeners, flocculant plants and clarifiers running at their best. Our pilot plant thickener lets us optimise operating conditions, flocculant dosage and thickener / clarifier operation before changes reach your plant.
Black water
Eliminating the black water phenomenon in coal washing circuits.
Colloidal silica
Removing colloidal silica in copper processing with dedicated coagulants.
Custom flocculants
Designing flocculants for the specific application, ore and water chemistry.
Non-ionic flocculant that hydrates in under an hour
Its short-chain structure gives higher settling rates and better clarity. It has outperformed conventional non-ionic flocculants on copper, gold and uranium CCD applications, and the shorter hydration time cuts the capital cost of new flocculant plants.
Hydration time required before dosing

- Supply, preparation and controlled dosing of treatment chemicals
- Trained plant operators and technical personnel, deployed and supervised
- Routine laboratory testing, process monitoring and operating adjustments
- Optimisation of dosage, throughput, settling performance and water quality
- Preventive maintenance coordination and inspection of dosing equipment
- Stock control, consumption forecasting and consignment-stock management
- Operating procedures, site reporting and tracking against agreed KPIs
- Emergency technical support in line with client site standards
This single-source approach aligns chemical selection, plant operation and technical accountability to deliver a cost-effective, dependable treatment solution.

OHL Gutermuth critical-service valves
Shut-off · Control · SpecialOHL Gutermuth Industrial Valves has built valves in Altenstadt, Germany, for more than 150 years. Each valve is engineered and built for the duty by specialists rather than mass-produced, and the company has supplied over 1,600 customers in more than 65 countries.
Its flagship KX Safeflex 3+ is a triple-offset, metal-seated butterfly valve for shut-off and control. The self-centring design runs friction- and wear-free, and its breakaway torque is about 45% lower than designs with laminated sealing rings.
- Tight shut-off: Class VI (FCI 70.2), Rate A (EN 12266)
- Fire-safe to API 607 / EN ISO 10497, SIL 3 certified
- Metal seals in duplex, Hastelloy, Inconel, titanium
- Actuation down to 0.1 s for protection duty
Triple-offset shut-off & control valves
Metal-seated and soft-seated butterfly valves for isolation and control in large lines.
Control dampers, centric disc
Control butterfly valves with a centrally mounted disc, for temperatures up to +1150 °C.
Process & Claus-plant valves
2-, 3- and 4-way shut-off valves and hot-gas mixing valves for sulphur recovery and process plants.
Designed for critical service
