Overview
Streamline Workflows at Mineral Processing Plant to Improve Regulation Compliance
Processing at mining plants requires a delicate balance of physics, chemistry, and metallurgy working in unison to maximize recovery of the tons of minerals processed. In recent years, efforts to reduce energy, ensure chemicals are contained, and reduce carbon footprints now require contribution and collaboration from all organizational levels.
Increasing competitive pressure due to smart plant technologies and evolving environmental regulations are also recent challenges to this final stage of the mining value chain. Greenhouse gas emissions, waste management, water resource management and preserving biodiversity are all becoming major considerations in the optimization of processing plants to comply with new regulations.
Key Client Challenges:
- How do we coordinate planning and operations to ensure the delivery of proper fragmentation and head-grade?
- How do we stay cost-competitive by leveraging technology and plant management systems?
- How do we ensure compliance with evolving environmental regulations to avoid fines and increase investor prospects?
Key Indicators in Processing Plant Optimization
Routines throughout the plant and control room must be disciplined and timely to avoid the loss of profits at the final phase of the value chain.
Below are the key indicators to consider when assessing your processing plant’s efficiency:
- Cost per ounce/ton
- P80 particle sizing
- Recovery time
- Dwell time
- Energy expenditure
- Micro stoppages
- Plant availability
- Shutdown/turnaround quality
- Overall Equipment Effectiveness and nameplate capacities
How Unison Mining Can Help
After considerable efforts and investments throughout the mining value chain, the mineral processing plant represents the final opportunity to manage or miss the margins.
