Frequently Asked Questions
Advanced measurement instrumentation delivers real-time process data and actionable insights that improve mine safety, boosts operational efficiency, reduces unplanned downtime, and supports sustainable mining through better water, energy, and emissions control.
From underground mining and crushing to flotation, thickening, heap leaching, electrowinning, and tailings management, real-time measurement data and process insights improve process control, asset reliability, and mineral recovery. Some of the most critical flow measurement technologies relate to underground mining ventilation and mine dewatering systems for both underground and open pit mines. Process water recoveries from tailings ponds as well as slurries flowing to thickeners and tailings ponds are critical to sustainability efforts of mines.
Emerson combines Rosemount, Flexim, and Micro Motion technologies for flow, level, pressure, density, and analytical measurements which provide actionable insights to optimize mineral recovery, lower operating costs, and improve sustainability performance.
Accurate flow and pressure measurement with Flexim clamp-on flow meters and Rosemount pressure instruments improve process optimization efforts, aid in mass and water balance exercises, protect equipment, and increases throughput across slurry transport and water systems.
Real-time monitoring helps detect abnormal conditions early, improving worker safety, reducing environmental risk, and supporting safer operation of ventilation, slurry pipelines, storage tanks, and tailings facilities.
Analytical and density measurement with Rosemount liquid analysis and Micro Motion density technologies improve reagent control, product quality, water recovery, and process efficiency across mining and metals production.
These instruments improve mining safety by reducing manual process intervention, increasing remote visibility, enabling faster response to abnormal conditions, and helping teams operate more consistently in potentially hazardous environments.
Digital tools and instruments improve OEE by increasing uptime, stabilizing process performance, reducing quality losses, and giving operations teams better real-time insight into bottlenecks and maintenance needs.
