Improve Asset Reliability
Your success resides on not knowing if your assets will fail, but when
In today's do-more-with-less environment, maintaining asset availability is difficult with reduced staff, smaller budgets and an inability to detect emerging problems early enough to resolve them on your terms. Working with Emerson's expertise and asset performance management solutions, you can aggregate real time information to mitigate unplanned downtime, predictively repair equipment, optimize expensive inventories and streamline work order practices.
To drive improvements in safety and reliability, it’s important to get real-time insight in the health of the critical mining assets. Not only can additional sensors provide early indication of asset performance issues, the use of preconfigured applications that use machine learning algorithms to continuously analyze process data and condition-based data can alert decision makers to act before failures occur.
Roping and plugging are common upset conditions that hinder the effective operation of your hydrocyclones. Emerson mining controls experts have developed hydrocyclone optimizer technology. This control and optimization application addresses the problems associated with roping, plugging, and undesired particle classification. It characterizes the different operating parameters of each cyclone. Having this information per cyclone allows the execution of efficient control strategies.
Most plants generate vast amounts of data, but making sense of that data hasn’t been easy – until now. Plantweb’s robust portfolio of scalable analytical tools transforms plant data into actionable information. By leveraging deep domain expertise, these tools generate new operational insights that drive more effective decisions when it comes to specific asset classes or site-wide improvements.
In mining operations, the comminution process reduces mined solid materials through crushing, grinding and other means. SAG and Ball mills are one of the most critical pieces of equipment for the process. Mining operators need to optimize grinding mill performance, and reliability to ensure tight shutoff and better recovery.
