Mineral processing
- Censeo
Water is a precious resource and is collected from multiple sources. Normally within a water supply system there are various pumps, from high cost transfer pumps, down to small dosing pumps. With all utilities, one of the highest costs of operation is power. We manufacture the world’s first integrated pump and condition monitor – Censeo. Censeo provides data based on accurate pump performance and condition measured using thermo-dynamic principles. This can be used to manage the cost of operation, improve the effectiveness of the plant and improve the reliability assets.

Mineral processing (recovery) often involves many heat driven processes, as a result, materials and plant require cooling, resulting in a high number of specific cooling circuits. These pumps use a lot of energy, up to 30 – 40% of the overall electrical / fuel consumption. With power being such a large contributor to the operational effectiveness of the business, it is important that these assets are monitored and optimised. In addition to the high energy demand, the processes often require varying flow demands, which can be detrimental to long term efficiency and reliable operation of the processes. To overcome this, you should look at monitoring the pump units in real-time, this will enable an accurate assessment of the operational envelope and from this information we can determine savings in energy and improvements that can be achieved.
