MSSA Multi-Stream Solution Analyzer

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
