IMP has provided automated slurry sampling to analysis solution for integrating the sampling and analysis on several concentrators. This type of automated slurry sampling to analysis is typically used where online systems cannot deliver the accuracy of analysis required to control the plant.
In automated slurry sampling to analysis, Samples are automatically taken from the slurry streams, automatically filter pressed, automatically dried, pulverized and analysed with results presented back to the plant quickly for plant control. The automated slurry sampling to analysis system processes 4 feed lines, 4 concentrator lines and 4 tailing streams giving the plant metallurgists a picture of the process every few minutes.
