GEOSCAN-Y

Slurry circuits can change rapidly, and delayed samples may not give operators enough time to control beneficiation, concentrate quality or pipeline performance. GEOSCAN-Y continuously measures elemental composition in slurry streams, giving process teams real-time data for recovery, product quality and operating control.

Key Benefits

Maintain consistent slurry and concentrate quality

Reduce reliance on delayed laboratory results

Detect and respond to process variability early

Enable data driven operational decisions

Support beneficiation and recovery optimisation

Proven Performance

The GEOSCAN-Y is deployed globally across mineral processing operations, delivering reliable performance in demanding environments

Continuous operation in harsh processing environments

No wear parts, resulting in low maintenance requirements

Proven performance across a wide range of mineral slurry applications

Supported by a global service and support network

Technology

GEOSCAN-Y uses Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) to measure elemental composition across the full slurry flow within the process pipeline. The non-contact arrangement is configured around the pipe and calibrated for the specific slurry composition and operating conditions.

Applications

Typical applications within mineral processing operations include:

  • Slurry quality monitoring
  • Beneficiation process control
  • Concentrate quality monitoring
  • Product quality verification
  • Blend control
  • Pipeline transport monitoring

Role in Process Control

The GEOSCAN-Y operates as part of a broader measurement and control strategy within mineral processing operations.

It enables:

  • Feed forward control of downstream processing circuits
  • Feedback control of beneficiation and concentration processes
  • Continuous monitoring of slurry and concentrate quality
  • Continuous decision support for operators managing process variability

Unique Capabilities

  • Installed around suitable process pipe type (horizontal for now) for continuous full flow composition measurement
  • Custom calibrations developed for specific slurry compositions and operating requirements
  • Multiple frame size options for different pipe ODs
  • Shorter measurement times
