Mining Concentrator Plant

Mining Concentrator Plant

Emerson’s automation and controls enable adaptation to variation in material input to enable consistent metal quality.

Enabling real-time process analysis to enhance automation in the Mine of the Future

Accounting for variation in input aggregate is critical for optimizing concentrator plant operations and maximizing metal recovery. Visibility and analysis of the aggregate material characteristics can enable automated concentrator mills to adjust their process parameters to optimize energy usage and throughput quality. Obtaining these insights and turning them into immediate action is possible with Emerson’s automation and controls portfolio. With our industrial automation and control solution, you can:

  • Maximize equipment uptime with high-availability architecture
  • Optimize energy use and throughput quality with real-time edge analytics
  • Optimize metal recovery through aggregate composition tracking

Emerson’s solutions help mine operators effectively control concentrator plants to deliver consistent metal recovery.

Downtime

Downtime can be difficult to pinpoint, costly to repair and negatively impact asset utilization.

Emerson’s high availability control system and architecture reduces the cost of adding redundant equipment. Fault tolerance allows the system to continue operating. 

Lack of Equipment KPI Tracking

Lack of equipment KPI tracking makes it difficult to maintain safe and efficient plant operation. 

Emerson’s Edge Controllers and can analyze and optimize real time equipment data to track critical KPIs for historical analysis.

Poor Visibility

Poor visibility into incoming ore characteristics can reduce metal recovery.

Emerson’s Edge Controllers can analyze and optimize process parameters in the field to maximize recovery.
