Pump and Cyclone Calculations to Reduce Grinding Costs

Who Should Attend: Plant metallurgists, circuit designers, equipment providers, process improvement and energy saving specialists.

Description: This course covers process application calculations for slurry pumps and hydrocylones  to maximize grinding circuit efficiency and productivity. As described in September, 2014, Mining Engineering , “Plant Performance Improvements Using Grinding ‘Circuit Classification System Efficiency’ ”, the quantifiable benefits in terms of increased tonnage, a finer grind to improve recovery, and energy and cost reduction are often very substantial.

Instructor: Robert McIvor is Chief Metallurgist – Grinding Systems, Metcom Technologies, Inc. He has devoted his career to the design and optimization of mineral grinding circuits.
