Simulus have spearheaded the application of integrated dynamic models in extraction processes. The Simulus dynamic model can simulate a plant over several years with all major economic drivers considered on a dynamic basis:
- Grades and concentrations
- Planned maintenance
- Throughput capacities
- Surge capacity
- Equipment failure statistics
- Utility and reagent supply
The resulting models give a realistic simulation of plant operation and are becoming a fundamental tool in design and optimisation of process plants. Our simulations and flow sheet design/optimisation effectively reveal reliable operating forecasts; de-bottlenecking and expansion opportunities and early recognition and resolution of issues. Simulations can be adapted to ‘Simulators’ for operational training, planning and risk event rehearsals. |
