Interact Reference Component

Improve product integrity, maximize resources, and meet specifications

Keep coal, cement, or mineral processing operations running efficiently, safely, and profitably. Thermo Scientific cross-belt online analyzers for cement and coal reduce process upsets and increase throughput with minute-by-minute composition analysis of ores and concentrates. Additionally, Thermo Scientific elemental and particle size analyzers for mineral beneficiation and flotation plants—when integrated with our sampling and analysis solutions—help you to increase the efficiency of your process.

Improve quality and efficiency with integrated analysis and sampling systems. Thermo Scientific instruments for mineral processing supply reliable process data, improved recovery, lower costs, and environmental compliance.

Gain efficiencies, improve effectiveness, and run more profitable operations with proven, onsite bulk weighing, monitoring, and sampling solutions for continuous online analysis and monitoring of raw material composition.

Improve recovery, lower costs, and achieve environmental compliance in your copper, nickel, lead, or zinc plant with Thermo Scientific samplers, analyzers, and bulk material handling products. 

Obtain rapid geochemical analysis that will help increase discovery success rates, identify drill targets quickly, make on-site decisions about whether to stop or continue drilling, and decide where to focus on the grid.

Ensure cement product quality, improve plant profitability, and operate safer, cleaner plants. From the quarry to the finished product silos, we understand your process and offer products that suit your applications.

Our portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers are the standard for non-destructive elemental analysis in the field. Our laboratory-based XRF systems can evaluate all kinds of materials and sample types for qualitative and quantitative analysis and process and quality control. 

Our X-ray diffraction (XRD) instruments quickly determine the mineralogy and phase composition of geological materials. Both XRF and XRD can help identify and quantify toxic or undesirable elements or compounds which can adversely affect the final product or the environment. 

From the mine through the preparation plant, we offer a variety of Thermo Scientific products for measuring tonnages, determining coal quality, ensuring personnel safety, and meeting emission regulations.

Improve cost saving, process optimization, and achieve cleaner gas emission. We provide online raw material handling equipment, real-time coal quality analyzers, and continuous gas monitoring from boiler to stack for coal-fired power plant operation.

Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS) help mining operations monitor toxic gases and comply with environmental standards. Our personal dust monitors ensure the shift-average respirable dust exposure does not exceed regulatory limits.

Achieve uniform sinter quality at low operational costs with advanced systems and equipment, particularly for measuring and controlling sintering process fluctuations, inhomogeneous mixtures, and other parameters.

Our personal radiation detectors alert workers to potential radiation exposure at greater distances so they can respond quickly and decisively to real radiation threats. Our dosimeters monitor radiation exposure over time.
