How We Develop It
Working Methodology
A structured two-phase process that ensures robust results and continuous on-site support.
Field Survey
Diagnosis of existing instrumentation: signal quality, measurement point coverage and gaps against balance requirements.
Process Diagram Development
Construction of the plant functional diagram, identifying all flows, stocks and nodes relevant to metallurgical accounting.
Sensitivity Analysis
Evaluation of the impact of measurement uncertainty on flows and stocks, determining critical points for balance robustness.
Reconciler Development
Implementation of the statistical data reconciliation model, with measurement adjustment and estimation of directly unmeasured variables.
Balance Reporting
Configuration of reports and dashboards adapted to the operational and management requirements of the site, with real-time indicators.
Instrumentation Review
Periodic on-site presence of our specialists to verify the condition of instrumentation and ensure input data quality.
Improvement Opportunities
Proposal of key operating indicators (KPIs) and improvement initiatives identified through continuous balance analysis.
Study Support
Permanent technical support for operational studies and analytical tools that require balance information as a foundation.
Solutions
Our Developments
Four specialised solutions covering the main balance circuits in the Chilean mining industry.
