Optimize your plant. Reduce losses. Increase your profitability.
Optimization of Mineral Processing Plants
From mine sampling to comprehensive improvement of processing plants.
Our metallurgical optimization services cover all stages of the process, from initial mineral analysis in the mine to technical diagnosis and improvement of each unit stage in the plant.
We apply a data-driven methodology, pilot testing, and metallurgical analysis to identify bottlenecks, reduce losses, and increase recovery efficiency.
We adapt to different types of processes: flotation, leaching, gravity concentration, thickening, among others.
Each solution is designed to improve productivity, increase metallurgical recovery, reduce energy consumption, and achieve high standards of efficiency and sustainability.
