Royal Mint Commercializes Precious Metal Recovery from E-Waste with PlantPAx DCS
The Royal Mint deployed IoT & Sensors for Process Optimization in Metals & Mining. rockwellautomation.com reports no complete outcome metric.
What The Royal Mint was trying to fix
The Royal Mint developed a promising new technology for recovering precious metals and other materials from electronic waste—one of the world's fastest-growing waste streams. The technology needed to be scaled from prototype to commercial volumes with precise process control.
What The Royal Mint deployed
Rockwell Automation installed a PlantPAx DCS-based solution to enable fine-tuning and scale-up of the precious metals recovery process, providing the process control required for commercial volumes and preparing for global rollout.
Results
The precious metals recovery technology was successfully commercialized and is now set for global rollout, helping offset growing e-waste volumes with a sustainable recovery solution.
Key Takeaways
• Scaling novel chemical processes to commercial volumes requires advanced process control capable of maintaining consistent results • E-waste recovery represents an emerging market where automation is critical to economic viability • A distributed control system provides the flexibility needed to fine-tune new processes while scaling
