PATHWAY TO OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE

ANDRITZ'S FLEXIBLE, MULTI-LEVEL APPROACH IS HELPING TO BRING OUT THE BEST IN MINING OPERATIONS IN AUSTRALIA AND AROUND THE WORLD.

- 

As Australia's mining sector continues to evolve, operators are increasingly seeking comprehensive solutions that can optimise their entire processing chain.

International technology company ANDRITZ has positioned itself with a flexible, multi-level approach with options spanning simulation, installation and continuous optimisation, a strategy that's gaining traction with mining operators around the world.

Virtual validation

The mining industry's appetite for risk mitigation has driven significant investment in simulation technology, and ANDRITZ's IDEAS platform has emerged as a standout solution.

This technology creates virtual process environments where complex plant designs can be tested and refined before physical construction begins.

The approach offers great value for Australia's diverse mining landscape.

IDEAS simulation technology allows engineers to model everything from comminution circuits for crushing activities to complex hydrometallurgical processes, including high-pressure acid leaching, neutralisation and countercurrent decantation systems.

Metris Digital Twin, built on the IDEAS platform, enhances these simulations with real-time plant data.

This allows operators to run "what-if" scenarios, forecast performance, and apply advisory logic for better planning and faster optimisation. Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered predictive models can also be embedded into these simulations, offering insights that reduce risk and support more confident decision-making at the design phase.

This pre-operational training approach has been adopted by operations around the world, including in Australia.

ANDRITZ's operator training simulator also provides a risk-free environment for personnel development.
