METSIM consists of the following modules:
BASE/MASS BALANCE MODULE
This module performs mass balance calculations around each unit operation and includes
Chemical, Mineral Benefication and Hydrometallurgical models.
HEAT BALANCE MODULE
This module performs heat balance calculations around each unit operation and reports temperatures
and the heat contents for each stream. Heat losses and heats of reaction are also calculated<
and reported. It includes Thermodynamics Database and several Pyrometallurgical models.
COMMINUTION/GRAVITY SEPARATION MODULE
This module includes Crushing, Grinding, Classification, Plant Material Balances, Gravity Separation, Dense Media, Coal Preparation Washability and Liberation Models.
DYNAMIC SIMULATION/HEAP LEACH MODULE
Dynamic simulation capability is being added to each unit operation as there is a demand for it; all operations concerned in heap leaching have already been provided with dynamic simulation, The heap leach module performs mass balances around the heap leach process including chemical reactions, precipitation and evaporation, solids and water inventories, and process controls. The model is non-steady state and generates time dependent plots of all critical variables in the operation. It includes DDE and PID Controllers, Heap Leaching, Solar Energy/Weather Module w/Solar Pond. Used to model processes that are time dependent.
CONTOURING MODULE
Used for building complex heap leach models from DXF contour files and for displaying heap leach data graphically.
METCOST, OPERATING COST MODULE
The Operating Cost Module is designed to enable the user to use the data generated by the flowsheet model to generate tables of operating costs. Costs are output in spreadsheet format and can be itemized by flowsheet section, unit operation, and cost types. A series of routines are provided in a menu structure for input, calculation, editing and output. Operating costs can be determined, at any time following the calculation of a model.
ENGINEERING MODULE (Under Development)
Sizes Equipment, Generates Equipment Lists, Adds Instrumentation, Generates Instrumentation Lists, Simulates Process Control System.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT (Annual Charge per Location)
Technical Support by Telephone, Fax, Courier or Modem, Including Continual Up-dates and requested Minor Program Enhancements
METSIM & LOGIKOS - MINER & ASSET TRACKING SYSTEM
A real-time location and communication system solution for the mining industry. The system provides accurate underground real-time location information for tracking personnel, equipment and other critical mining assets.
