Thermo Scientific™ MSSA provides a continuous window into the hydrometallurgical process which allows operators or an automatic control system to increase plant efficiency, quality and recovery. The Thermo Scientific Multi-Stream Solution Analyzer, MSSA, provides continuous online analysis of solution streams and is capable ofmeasuring elements as low as sulphur in the periodic table. This provides costeffective, real-time analysis of key elements and other variables from sampledstream lines in hydrometallurgical operations such as SX/EW and refineries.
Key Features
- Simultaneously measures measure 8 elements
- Receives between 1 and 16 streams per analyzer
- Energy Dispersive XRF technique of analysis
- Stainless-steel frame and construction
- Stainless-steel or polypropylene wetted parts
- Simple, low maintenance design
- De-multiplexing of streams available if required
- Metallurgical shift sampling available
- Flush capabilities for scaling solutions
Specific Benefits
- Monitors the transfer of metal species through different stages of the plant, viz: pregnant liquor solution, organic and electrolytes.
- Monitors contaminant species in copper SX/EW in aqueous streams
- Automated rectifiers in the EW plant
- Optimized electrical energy use in the EW plant by minimizing peak power loads
- Optimized current density based on metal concentration in the electrolyte to improve cathode quality
- Automated reagent dosing
- Manpower savings due to the decrease in control samples analyzed by the laboratory
