Using a Vibrating Fork as a Densitometer in Mining

Doug Morris — Tue, 16 Sep 2014 16:06:03 GMT

If you have a conversation with a miner about process control, sooner or later you will be asked "Do you know of any technology that can replace nuclear densitometers?" As is turns out, we have been able to replace some of these densitometers using a vibrating fork. It does not work on all applications, but has performed very well to measure concentrations of up to 65% with 95% particle size <1.0 and densities between 1.0 and 2.5 g/cm3. We are continuing to refine this application.

Anyone interested in trying this out at your site?

Content Based Analysis during PAS modernization

Cody Long — Thu, 21 Aug 2014 16:13:03 GMT

Are there any examples of where analytics were applied to a legacy PAS configuration prior to modernization? Specifically, was the legacy configuration migrated via bruteforce or was an effort made to understand the content of the configuration? Were similar loops identified? Were custom loops identified? I am seeking input as to what analysis steps are taken to translate a legacy configuration to DeltaV.

Water-The Growing Problem of Scarcity

My colleague, Juan Carlos Bravo, wrote a post recently about the problem of water scarcity in mining. It's a nice take on what is happening to miners in Latin America and other arid regions. Soon after, I read a series titled "A world without water" in the Financial Times and just yesterday I found an article about the possibility of water being traded as a commodity to avoid a global water crisis.(http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/commodities/10979107/Commodities-Water-should-be-traded-on-financial-markets-to-avoid-global-crisis.html)

What are you experiencing in your industry? Are you developing contingency plans for water security?
