Process simulation is a critical tool in the development and operation of mineral processing plants. Our simulation services offer extensive flexibility and confidence in process design and operational modifications.
 

  • Steady State Mass and Energy Balance:
    Investigating plant behavior in a balanced and stable state.

  • Dynamic Simulation:
    Modeling time-varying operations to account for changing input variables and enable predictive control.

​

These simulations provide the capability to model the behavior of different ore types through various process configurations, ensuring robust and adaptable process design."

Premier process modelling software

Fulfilling tighter project schedules and reducing design costs

​

We have seen the benefits of utilizing premier process modeling software. It not only generates steady state metallurgical mass and energy balances, but also:
 

  • Budgeting

  • Mine Costs

  • Compatibility

    • Spreadsheet Interface to Excel, InTouch

    • Drawing interface to AutoCAD

  • Process Control

    • Feedback, Feed Forward and PID Controllers

    • Start-up/Shutdown Logic

  • Chemistry

    • Extensive Thermodynamic Database

    • Chemical Kinetics and Phase Equilibrium

  • Flowsheeting

    • Simple and immediate to modify

    • Flowsheet Prints and Dynamic Plot Graphics

  • Additional Simulation Modes:

    • Parameterization to Simulate Existing Plants

    • Dynamic Simulation for Time-Varying Parameters


With these tools and capabilities at hand, we can provide you with a metallurgical and process solution in good time and at reasonable costs, eliminating the need to build a pilot plant to test modifications or understand the limitations of a greenfields processing plant.
