Part 3: Process control and operating philosophy

Posted by:

This is part three of Our Simulation Platform blog. In this month’s post, we discuss how we integrate process control and plant operating philosophies into process simulations.

You can catch up on our previous blog topics here:

Part 1: Our Simulation Platform
Part 2: Multicomponent comminution modelling

So, onto the topic of process control and simulation. The role of process control and operating philosophies (aka human control) in mineral processing plant simulation is ...

Process Control And Dynamic Simulation

Posted by:

The ultimate objective of the process control system of any mineral processing circuit  is to achieve a stable, steady state of operation so that limits can be pushed and productivity maximised. In practice, this is difficult to achieve due to a range of external and internal influences which can lead to short term variability:

The response and recovery of a processing plant to such disturbances can be difficult to foresee, given the complex interactions of material flows and equipment. Dynamic process simulation ...
