Combining the skills of one of the world's most experienced and competent mineral processing groups with a world class test facility, we boast an enviable record of designing and implementing solutions to process problems.

Mineral Technologies has extensive metallurgical capabilities covering all aspects of flowsheet design, process plant design,  commissioning, operator training and optimisation.  Services include:

Process Flowsheet Design

Our world class metallurgical test facility contains a full range of both bench scale and industrial scale gravity, electrostatic and magnetic separators.  Operating from this extensive laboratory, the qualified experts of Mineral Technologies' Metallurgical Services team, bring a wealth of experience to tasks such as:

• Characterisation of ores
• Process optimisation
• Complex flowsheet development
• Computer circuit modelling
• On-site plant surveys 

Process Plant Design

With a dedicated team of experienced engineers, our ability to design gravity, electrostatic and magnetic separation process plants is second to none.  Close partnerships between our engineering and laboratory services groups allows us to produce world-class operating plants based on experience in areas such as:

• Ore and mineral characterisation
• Laboratory-scale test work
• Pilot plant-scale generation of concentrates from bulk samples
• Equipment selection and sizing
• P&ID development

Project Implementation Planning

Our experience on numerous projects allows us to provide clients with valuable experience in the construction phases of their projects.  We are dedicated to providing support services such as: 

• Vendor services to minimise commissioning issues
• Critical path management to compress processing and ramp-up time frames during commissioning 

Commissioning & Training

Specialised post-construction services are offered in areas such as:

• Commissioning of gravity, electrostratic and magnetic separation process plants
• Development of metallurgical accounting systems for new plants
• Training of operations, engineering and maintenance staff
• Engineering support services
• Plant and site laboratory auditing to assist in rapid ramp-up to design tonnages

Metallurgical Data Evaluation & Flowsheet Delineation

With support from our experienced team of metallurgists, process engineers and support staff, our services extend to process plant evaluation for optimisation and upgrade projects.  We can assist in areas such as: 

• Design, management and execution of laboratory programs aimed at resolving process plant deficiencies
• Evaluation from internal and external test work data for process optimisation
• Collection and interpretation of process plant data for debottlenecking and optimisation programs
