Reduction of the coefficient of variation of Cp
24,25% → 13,2 %
Reduction of the coefficient of variation of yield stress

The challenge

The rheological variables of mineral pulps, such as Cp and yield stress They are highly sensitive to factors such as: 

  • mineral mineralogy  
  • grinding conditions  
  • type and dosage of reagents  
  • plant operational parameters  

This variability creates instability in operations such as transport, thickening, and flotation, making it difficult to maintain the process within optimal operating ranges.  

Our solution

Online rheological monitoring was implemented using Konatec technology, allowing continuous measurement of the rheological properties of the pulp and improved process control through real-time operational data. 

This approach made it possible to identify deviations and stabilize the system's behavior within optimal operational ranges. 

Key results

Metric

Variability of Cp
Variability of yield stress
Operational stability

Base Condition (Before)

Coefficient of variation 5,13%
