APS for Mining
The APS is the solution for having Real-time, automatic, continuous, rapid and accurate laboratory quality measurements with no delay resulting in an increased profitability and reduces CO2 Emission.​
-
One of the biggest challenges faced by a Mine operator is waiting for a lab report of the materials to be treated. Traditionally, the time span between sampling and processing of the material is a maximum of 2 weeks.
-
In this 2-week time span, the properties of the material to which all operational settings are tuned can change and become obsolete.
-
These changing properties result in not achieving the maximum potential efficiency and/or an excessive frequency of expensive shutdowns, which puts pressure on the profit margin and has a negative effect on emissions.
