Mineral processing
Ginger SOFRECO has the advantage of being able to design and offer know-how in ore precessing studies and tests (bench, pilot and industrial), through its experience with a network of tests centres independants of manufacturers.
Some examples of our realizations :
- Sampling and management of transport laboratories
- Ore sorting tests
- Flotation tests
- Wet and dry sizing tests
- Calcination and post treatment
- Setting up of quality assurance / quality control programmes
Our services
Laboratory and pilot plant test work management
Laboratory and pilot plant test work management
Whatever the type of ore, we design and supervise tests programs for greenfield or existing operations. We collaborate with first class tests centres across the globe to develop tailored programs.
Our teams of experts will ensure selection of representative samples used for the evaluation of process variability.
At all stages, we will manage and evaluate the tests works, from laboratory to pilot plant and provide detailed review, re-processing data and in depth result analysis.
Our service covers:
- Sampling
- Mineralogical and metallurgical study
- Selection and contracting of test centres
- Detailed scope of work and test supervision
- Review of the test work results, re-processing of data
- Computation of coherent material balances and process simulation from test results
Flow sheet definition
Flow sheet definition
Adequacy of ore processing with upstream and downstream units of a mining project is a key elements to ensure profitability to your project.
Based on our longstanding experience in mineral processing and analysis of tests results, we develop efficient and cost effective flow sheets to improve ore recovery and performance through tailored solutions.
Our expertise includes:
- Grinding
- Washing and sizing
- Automatic ore sorting (optical, X-ray transmission, near infrared …)
- Direct and reverse flotation
- Calcination and post-treatment (dry slaking)
- Solid-liquid separation
Process design
Process design
Thanks to the strong operational background of our teams we develop customized process solutions to maximise profitability of each projects.
Our approach based on proven process solutions guarantees best recovery of ore and cost efficient operations. For each context, we strive to consider the key factors impacting profitability of processing plants such as proper equipment sizing, operability, maintenance and sustainability.
Our independence from technology and equipment providers guarantees implementation of the best and cost efficient process design and optimization solutions to your project.
Our projects
Ginger SOFRECO provided process design to increase the capacity of the South Pasture phosphate beneficiation plant, from 3.5 Mtpa to 7.3 Mtpa, including re-evaluation of the feasibility study, optimisation of the overall process design, and the basic engineering of the future plant to produce an AACE Class 3 capital cost estimate.
Advanced process simulation tools were used by Ginger SOFRECO.
Large-scale beneficiation test works (220T in total) were conducted in order to design the operating parameters and design outlines for the industrial scale plant.
The works included sampling, preparation of the scope of work for the test centres and contract management, implementation of QA/QC procedures for analytical works, interpretation of results and recommendations
