Total metal measurements in an Australian metal refinery

Total metal measurements in a process liquor in an Australian metal refinery

Recently, Metrohm Australia installed a process analyser including a stainless steel presampling system at an Australian metal refinery.

The purpose to measure total metals online is to give accurate and more data for the operator to control the process. Having better control of the process increases the efficiency of the process and allows for significant savings in the range of hundreds of thousands of dollars every year. Performing the crucial measurements in the laboratory would delay important process adjustments significantly.

The practically instant results of a process analyser allow for immediate and timely adjustments and thus great savings. When analyses are performed manually the data frequency is insufficiently low. Increasing the frequency is not possible without automation. Laboratory measurements still play a very important role as part of a redundancy strategy but the online analyser’s data provides typically the primary guideline.
