The expertise of our metallurgical engineering staff includes minerals processing, pyrometallurgy, chemical engineering, computerized simulations and computational fluid dynamics. We provide state-of-the-art metals analyses including ace mineral analysis in air, water, soil and minerals. We also have the capability of bench and pilot scale modeling in minerals processing, agglomeration, with feed rates of up to five tons per hour.
Our concentrator modeling center utilizes USIMPAC modeling software to optimize concentrator flow sheets. We are also able to provide computational fluid dynamics modeling which optimizes heat flows and energy balances in taconite operations.
