What the smelting plant was trying to fix

Understanding and resolving a number of plant bottlenecks.

What the smelting plant deployed

Combining thermodynamic modelling (Factsage®), heat and mass balance modelling (Metsim®) and now dynamic simulation (Arena), the Extractive Metallurgy Group at XPS can be considered a leader in metallurgical modelling. Arena® simulation software is well adapted to the modelling of a complete metallurgical plant having a number of complex and interacting operations. All types of unit operations can be incorporated into the model. This can range, for example, from systems for materials handling - feed conveyors, slurry pumping or crane and ladle transfers - to individual unit operations such as
