The installation provides the communication infrastructure that is used to monitor energy usage, provide emergency telephone access via Voice-over IP (VoIP), HART device integration and remote maintenance. The wireless system makes use of Wave Relay™, a multi-hop wireless mesh networking communication system, which provides the ability to seamlessly connect users, devices and networks over large geographic areas and in challenging RF environments. It offers the ability to secure data and control traffic over multiple hops on an end-to-end basis. The architecture provides a secure, scalable and high performance extended network spanning both wired and/or wireless network links, supplying communications for HART devices, power monitoring via OPC, Voice-over-IP (VoIP), and remote maintenance.

Session 3 • 2:30-3:30 p.m. WSE-01 Advanced Process Control and Scheduling Techniques for Real Time Economic Process Optimization of Mineral Plant Operations Dr. Eduardo Gallestey, ABB

Implementation of advanced intelligent systems throughout a mine operation can reduce costs, optimize investment and create a substantial added value. Advanced optimization techniques supported by dedicated mathematical models and seamless integration with the plant data warehouse allow for economic process optimization (process setpoints and coordination thereof, energy management, production planning, energy supply contract optimization, etc) of the plant as a whole. The paper illustrates these issues with examples. For instance, we will address the overall process optimization of a TiO2 plant. In this case, the kiln(s) operation was optimized. Moreover, batch and continuous processes were coordinated to achieve energy savings and reduce process bottlenecks.
