Slurry Sampling Station
The Thermo Scientific™ SamStat-30 Slurry Sampling Station is a high availability, low head loss solution for the representative sampling of critical mineral slurry streams. It samples full process streams with a multistage, representative sampler to deliver composite samples for metallurgical accounting and continuous sampling to gravity feed nearby online analyzers. Low head loss minimizes plant elevation requirements which minimizes the impact of implementing sampling systems into mineral processing plant design and layout. The SamStat-30 is highly configurable with every system customized to meet user requirements with options for inlet and outlet locations, distribution, oversized particle screening and a sampling zone for particle size measurement. This low head loss full flow sampling approach yields significant savings in plant construction costs by reducing height requirements while providing a high availability minimal maintenance solution while providing representative samples required to operate minerals processing plant efficiently and profitably over the long term.

Choose the SamStat-30 Slurry Sampling Station for full flow representative sampling to produce composite samples for metallurgical accounting.

Choose the SamStat-30C Continuous-Flow Sampling Station to generate a continuous representative flow for online elemental analysis with the MSA-330 and GS Omni.

Choose the SamStat-30R Reverse-Flow Sampling Station to generate a continuous representative flow for online particle size measurement with the PSM-500.

All SamStat-30 systems provide reliable, dedicated, representative sampling with minimal manual input for real-time process measurements, to support the more efficient operation of mineral processing plant. Key features include:

  • Very low head loss, simplifying design and layout for sampling while eliminating sample pups and reducing overall plant head requirements.
  • Highly configurable multi-stage design with options for integrated analysis (see AnStat-330), for customization for each application.
  • Range of tanks available to efficiently handle a wide range of volumetric flow rates.
  • Easily replaceable, fixed polyurethane cutters, for reliable, long-term service with minimal maintenance.
  • Baffle and weir in each stage, for effective froth management.
  • Low maintenance, for trouble-free operation over the long-term with minimal maintenance as the only moving parts are found in the final stage cross-cut sampler
  • Open layout, for easy inspection and performance monitoring.
  • Flange-to-flange supply, for savings in engineering design and construction costs.
  • Multistage sampling, for highly representative proportional stream sampling down to the final stage, an environmentally hardened cross-cut sampler for accurate accounting samples.
    • A range of additional options, for optimized operation, for each application including:
    • Pebble screen to reject oversized particles from cyclone overflow for return to the grinding circuit. This option is suggested as a back-up to a primary oversize and tramp material screen located upstream on the primary grinding circuit product.
    • Outlet distributor to divide the slurry flow into two or more separate streams of specified flow volume percentage.
    • Upwelling/reverse flow sampling zone provides ideal sampling conditions for particle size analysis (see PSM-500)
    • Vacuum Filter for composite sample

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What should I consider when selecting a slurry sampling system for a mineral processing plant?

When selecting a representative slurry sampling system, consider the process flow rate, slurry characteristics, sampling objective, available head, plant layout, maintenance requirements, and whether samples will be used for metallurgical balancing or online process analysis. Requirements for particle size measurement, elemental analysis, oversized-particle removal, and slurry distribution should also be evaluated. For greenfield plants, defining sampling and analysis requirements early in the design process can help teams evaluate equipment layout and construction considerations.

Which Thermo Scientific SamStat-30 options should I consider for my sampling applications?

The appropriate Thermo Scientific SamStat-30 options depend on your process stream and how the representative sample will be used. Consider these application requirements when configuring your sampling station:

  • Multi-stage modular design: whether your flowrate is 4 m³/hr, 36,000 m³/hr or anywhere in between, SamStat-30 is configured to suit your application.
  • Composite sample collection: SamStat-30 provides high integrity composite samples.
  • Online analysis: if representative slurry needs to feed an online analyzer, select the appropriate integrated-analysis configuration based on the measurement required. For example, the SamStat-30C provides a continuous representative slurry flow suitable for online elemental analysis. A SamStat-30 can be upgraded later to incorporate online analysis, making it an AnStat-430, but a SamStat-30C or SamStat-30R cannot.
  • Composite sample processing: if composite samples need to be prepared for subsequent analysis, an automated vacuum filtration system can be incorporated into the sampling configuration.
  • Multiple slurry streams: if the sampled slurry needs to be divided between multiple downstream streams, an outlet distributor can split the flow into two or more streams at specified proportions.
  • Oversized particles: if the slurry contains oversized material that needs to be removed, consider a pebble screen to reject oversized particles from the process stream.
  • Particle-size analysis: if representative slurry is required for online particle-size measurement, consider a reverse-flow sampling configuration, such as the SamStat-30R, which provides a suitable sampling zone for PSM-500 particle-size analyzer.

What Thermo Scientific SamStat-30 design features can help simplify maintenance?

The Thermo Scientific SamStat-30 Slurry Sampling Station has few moving and wear parts, with moving components concentrated in the final stage cross-cut sampling system. Static polyurethane cutters are replaceable (in certain cases without stopping slurry flow), and the open layout supports access for inspection, cleaning, and performance monitoring. These design features can help simplify routine maintenance and should be considered alongside the plant’s availability and maintenance requirements. The basic SamStat-30C and SamStat-30R have no moving parts. Optional VacFilt automatically filters SamStat-30 shift composite samples, saving time, labour and manual handling. Optional pneumatic dump valves reduce effort and simplify maintenance shuts.

Can the Thermo Scientific SamStat-30 Slurry Sampling Station provide samples for online analyzers?

Yes. The Thermo Scientific SamStat-30 Slurry Sampling Station can be configured to provide representative slurry samples for online process analysis. The SamStat-30C generates a continuous representative flow that can gravity feed nearby online elemental analyzers such as the Thermo Scientific MSA-430 and GS Omni. A dedicated multi-element immersion probe can also be integrated into the final sampling stage, creating the Thermo Scientific AnStat-430 integrated sampling and analysis station. Reverse-flow configurations can support online particle size measurement with the Thermo Scientific PSM-500.

How can the Thermo Scientific SamStat-30 Slurry Sampling Station be configured for different mineral processing applications?

The Thermo Scientific SamStat-30 Slurry Sampling Station can be configured according to the required process flow rate and application. Available configurations include different tank sizes, one-to-four-stage sampling arrangements, single or multiple inlets, and different inlet and outlet locations. Additional options include oversized-particle screening, slurry distribution, reverse-flow sampling for particle size measurement, pneumatic dump valves, and automated composite sample filtration. This flexibility allows the sampling station to be configured based on specific process and plant-layout requirements.
