Real-Time Optimization of Grinding in Copper Processing
摘要
The objective of achieving operational excellenceOperational Excellence in real-time requires multiple elementsElements working together. Successful implementations require fundamental aspects like the correct instrumentation, data collection, data analyticsAnalytics and optimizationOptimization engine. All these pieces must work together and integrate with the site process and control system effectively. This paper reviews practical learnings and best practicesBest practice in autogenous, semi-autogenous, and ball millsMill. The discussion includes the implementation of advanced instrumentation as vibration sensors attached to the rotating shell of the millMill; it explores best practicesBest practice in data collection and analyticsAnalytics to provide recommendations in real-time and their integrationIntegration into the site control system to achieve optimum grindingGrinding.
