Metallurigical Plant Design and Control

A metallurgical plant is an industrial establishment used to produce marketable products, through modification of existing technology or development of new technologies or strategies.

Plant design deals with the development of a new, modified or expanded industrial plant, ensures cost-effective processing of raw material into useful product and minimize capital expenditure and maximize long term profit

It entails all operations regarding;

Cost engineering - Economic evaluation,

Process engineering - Flow sheet and

Design engineering - Equipment selection and coordination

It begins with the inception of the basic idea which may come from a:

Request; e.g., particle size for road construction;

Competition; e.g., manual to semi-automation;

Research; changes in ore characteristics and

Demand; shortage in commodity.
