How APC can be useful?
APC, our advanced process control software significantly benefits the mining, cement, pulp, and metals industries. In mining concentrators, APC optimizes grinding by adjusting variables like grinding mill speed, conveyor belt load, and downstream by maximizing mass pull to concentrate grade limits. By minimizing energy consumption and maximizing throughput and recovery, it leads to higher productivity and improved opex savings. In cement production, APC enhances kiln operation, raw material blending, and clinker quality. This results in reduced energy usage, consistent product quality, and minimized emissions, contributing to sustainability goals. For the pulp and paper industry, APC improves pulp quality by improving control around the digesters, lime and bleaching units, increasing yield, and reducing consumables. In the metals sector, APC automates complex processes, particularly in pelletizing. Overall, APC acts as an autopilot, driving optimal performance across these sectors while minimizing human intervention.
