GEOSCAN-Y
GEOSCAN-Y is used for elemental concentration measurement in slurries and is particularly suited for full flow analysis in HDPE pipes up to 550mm (22″) OD.
The multi-element analyses are transmitted to the control system over user-defined time periods, as frequently as every few minutes, as weighted averaged dry weight percent using the input of solids concentration or slurry density data from the plant. Whether at the mine site, at the treatment plant or at the smelter, Scantech offers solutions that aid the blending, handling and monitoring of various minerals, ores and products.
Process control technology has undergone an amazing revolution in recent years, chiefly thanks to GEOSCAN technology combined with Rocks2data module that ensures data precision and frequency is customised for each application.
The GEOSCAN-Y utilises the technique known as Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA). The high specification GEOSCAN-Y incorporates high efficiency detectors and state-of-the-art digital spectrometer, which overcomes the limitations of conventional, low efficiency detection systems. Enabled by enhanced electronic digitisation, PGNAA has led to a new era in process control.
To ensure effective implementation an easy to use, yet sophisticated user interface, can be easily and quickly integrated into each plant to ensure maximum return on investment.
