Overview

MillROC (Milling Remote Optimisation Consulting & Coaching) remotely monitors circuits and provides online feedback to ensure a processing plant is running optimally.

A Molycop expert is on-hand to provide remote optimisation consulting services on live data to keep the circuit at optimal performance. This improves throughput, increases power efficiency, improves recovery, reduces wear and promotes longer liner life, all of which maximise asset utilisation.

Cost savings with MillROC

Traditional comminution circuit reviews typically result in throughput improvements of more than 10%. However, improvements are often unsustainable due to changing conditions and ore types. As a result, most grinding circuits operate sub-optimally for long periods of time, which can lead to millions of dollars in lost revenue.

MillROC combines expert consulting services with cloud-based computing to effectively address this problem by having the consultant’s recommendations continuously available to the plant.

Molycop partners with customers to understand the key parameters driving performance, improving instrumentation and data acquisition to allow implementation of advanced data analytics and machine learning.

With MillROC, plant operators:

gain access to a remote optimisation consulting service
receive guidance on operating approaches and setpoints
apply machine learning to the datasets produced
understand key parameters driving performance.

Typical Uses

MillROC is used by mining companies worldwide to optimise their mineral processing operations. MillROC's typical uses involve remotely monitoring and modelling grinding circuits to improve throughput and efficiency and reduce wear on equipment.

Continuous improvement with MillROC support – Edikan Case Study

Continuous improvement with MillROC support – Edikan Case Study

The initial installation and set-up of MillSlicer, MillStar and MillROC at the Edikan Gold Mine in Ghana's Ashanti Gold belt was completed by April 2019. The optimisation strategy resulted in a sustainable increase in throughput of 27% in 8 months.

MillROC Improvement Project at Australian Nickel Mine

MillROC Improvement Project at Australian Nickel Mine

The objective of a MillROC improvement project at a leading Australian nickel mine was to implement a new control philosophy around the grinding circuit, which allowed for stabilisation of key operating variables. The project led to significant improvement in circuit efficiency, reduction in energy requirements and increases in throughput.
