| With process automation forcing its way through minerals processing plants, now even some of the measurement and control applications thought too difficult are coming to the fore.
The PLA SmartDiver is one such a device. It is a ruggedised mud diver that provides measurements of mud levels, settling zones and overflow clarity in thickeners/clarifiers and washers / decanters. Tank profiling (Suspended solids Vs depth) is also provided. Process engineers armed with this kind of data can attack process optimisation of flocculation and underflow density control head-on. Operations can almost cease manual “bombing” of the tanks and get detailed analysis of what is flowing in and out of their tankage.
Ultrasonic technology has been discarded by PLA for the SmartDiver making way for a cheaper, newer, more robust sensor technology. The open platform where PLA use standard brand name PLC’s and motor drives etc., ensure bugs or faults after commissioning are more easily eliminated. Remote GSM dial-in communications helps here also and is supplied standard with almost everything in the PLA range. The SmartDiver Compact addresses the size issue of the PLA diver range reducing the size of the device by almost ½. Rather than needing to compromise low-end clarity measurement accuracy with high-end heavy mud rangeability, PLA have introduced the SmartDiver Duo, 2-probe design offering a clarity and a heavy mud probe in the one device.
With the installation of a SmartDiver into a Kalgoorlie gold mine, PLA strongly believes their offering to the alumina, nickel, copper/uranium, mineral sands, and now gold mining industries is complete.
