Honoured to be awarded Best Alumina Paper at ICSOBA 2022. Congratulations to Ab Rijkeboer of Rinalco and co-authors John McFeaters and Dan Manché of SysCAD! In the paper, we introduce a new agglomeration kernel based on the work of René David (implemented in SysCAD as ‘David-Rijkeboer’), accounting for both laminar and turbulent flow regimes within a precipitation tank. We also present an operations-focused calibration wheel,…
We’re exhibiting at ICSOBA 2022 in Athens, Greece, Oct. 10-14. Please visit our booth to say hello and discuss your process modelling requirements with Dan Manché and Ab Rijkeboer, experts in Bayer process simulation. Ab, representing Rinalco, will be presenting the paper “Advances in Process Simulation of Agglomeration in Bayer Precipitation”, co-authored by John McFeaters and Dan Manché of SysCAD. In this…
We’re exhibiting at the return of COM in Montreal, Aug. 21-24. This conference offers networking, curated plenaries, speakers & discussions on the theme “Pathway to Net Zero”. Please stop by at our booth to say hi and discuss your process modelling requirements with John McFeaters, Kevin Heppner and Tanai Marín. Kevin will also be presenting at the conference with the…
Many industrial and mineral processes are dependent on highly complex chemical interactions. These reactions and thermochemical processes are often simplified in traditional process simulation. Process efficiencies, however, are often found “close to the edge”. As such, a thorough understanding of process chemistry is key to better design, efficient operation, and real-world optimisation. With the introduction of Thermodynamic Calculation Engines (TCEs),…
We are attending the GTT-Technologies Users’ Meeting this week on June 29 – 30. Tanai Marin and Kevin Heppner will present on Dynamic Simulation of Batch Copper Converting using SysCAD with ChemApp. Copper converting, where iron and sulphur are removed from the molten matte, is typically carried out by Peirce-Smith Converting process. SysCAD with ChemApp was used to develop a…
We are proud to be presenting two papers and hosting a booth at ALTA 2022, ALTA Metallurgical Services’ world-class annual metallurgical conference. SysCAD will be represented in Perth by Rob Winter and Peter Marsh, and online by Kevin Heppner. Digital Transformation using Simulation in a Project Life Cycle, presented by Rob Winter on 22 May. The use of Process Simulation…
As the global population increases and the diets of people around the world include more protein, potash production is becoming increasingly important. Primarily used to produce fertiliser, potash refers to a broad range of compounds bearing potassium (K). As one of the “Big 3” essential nutrients in commercial fertilisers, NPK – Nitrogen, Phosphorus & Potassium[1], potassium is vital to crop…
