INCREASE YOUR UNIT EFFICIENCY
A smarter way to improve your unit operation
The mining industry generally has a well built process, sequence and technology in order to grind, screen and separate solid materials to get to the final product. At a mining plant quite a few automations are probably already in place. However, managing your solid operations is always a challenging task with high energy demand, and there may be many process parameters that are hard to measure.


Advanced Process Control and steaday-state/dynamic process simulation are industrial solutions where certain controllers and additional automations, functions can help you to control and monitor your process in a better way, to maintain product quality and improve yields.
OUR SERVICES
Steady-State Simulation
In the mining industry, certain measurements are only with low accuracy or even missing from an engineering point of view.
Additional functions and automation can be implemented during the project. With a steady-state simulation the process variables can be measured and used to tune the simulation, then the calculated values are fed back to the unit for information or further processing. The simulation can run in the background and can optimise the solid handling and separation process, supporting operators/engineers with additional information.
Our Engineers can support your unit with
Implementing additional automations
functions and calculations for your mining processes.
Creating and integrating steady-state simulation
where operating parameters from the plant are used to tune the simulation then the calculated values are communicated back for further processing.
The simulation runs using real time parameters and calculates values that are not measured in your unit. This additional information can be used to optimize and adjust the operating parameters.
Smart steady-state simulation
with APC
On an existing APC we can implement further calculations and functions that help you to maximize your profit and minimize your energy consumption.
Inferential calculation can give you more information about the process conditions which are hard to measure such as particle size distribution.
The gain scheduling for an existing APC solution can further improve the controller performance. Optimization can manage your process approaching the optimal operating conditions.
