Real-time acid data for ore separation.
A global mining company wanted to replace slow lab tests with real-time acid measurement during ore separation. We scanned solutions, vetted the vendors, arranged lab tests and helped it move to an onsite pilot.
The Client
The client is a major mining company with global operations. It wanted fast, accurate measurements so operators could adjust acid levels as soon as they drift.
The Challenge
Lab tests are slow.
Measure in real time.
Prescouter was asked to build a landscape of offline and online acid detection technologies that could replace time consuming laboratory analyses during ore separation, allowing rapid process adjustments.
