Why consider optimization?
Optimization can focus on bottlenecks, downstream impact or adapting to market trends and sustainability targets, depending on your goals:
Increase production
Common during market booms, activities are centered on debottlenecking to improve availability, throughput & recovery.
Minimize costs
Whether for one unit or the entire system, activities include reducing energy consumption, chemical cost, water use & adapting to ore types.
Improve stability
Achieving consistent output is key in each stage, the focus is on reducing variability and stabilizing processes across the plant.
Reduce environmental impact
Enabling sustainability initiatives while maximizing productivity & profitability.
How we drive gains across customer operations
While it is critical that each individual process runs efficiently, the best results are achieved when each stage is optimized in the context of the whole operation.
Services to suite a multitude of products across your entire operation
Optimization and laboratory services offering
Drill and blast fragmentation assessment and forecasting
Blast design has a big impact on process efficiency and site safety. We use tailored modeling and ore tracking tools to help you develop the optimal blast designs for your operation, resulting in improved rock fragmentation while maintaining safe and stable slopes in your mine.
Achieve optimum run-of-mine (ROM), improve downstream plant performance and save on overall energy consumption.
Ore characterization
Ore characterization helps build a clear picture of the ore types at the mine and determines how to extract maximum value from your deposit. Ore properties govern the ultimate performance that is achievable in all mining operations.
Achieve improved plant performance and stability with advanced tools and tailored test work programs designed to understand the characteristics and variability of your orebody.
Commissioning and troubleshooting
Ensure a smooth production start-up and quicker ramp-up to profitability with our commissioning and troubleshooting service.
Get expert support during your project start-up phase wherever you are in the world. Our installation and commissioning experts will help to ensure your equipment performs according to agreed targets.
Evaluation and optimization services
Improve process performance by identifying bottlenecks and areas for improvement in your circuit.
Our thorough evaluation follows a systematic inspection checklist designed specifically for the process or unit in question. This provides a clear picture of current production performance which identifies potential areas for improvement. We then prepare a recommended upgrade path with solid ROI calculations.
