Mass Balancing Plant Data

This two-day course incorporates the Introduction to JKMBal course as the first day, with the second day focusing on mass balancing in two dimensions using JKMultiBal.

• Introduce the principles of mass balancing
• Construct and mass balance mineral processing flowsheets using JKMBal and JKMultiBal
• Understand the techniques of mass balancing plant data on individual size and assay bases, as well as simultaneously
• Present mass balancing results to gain a clear understanding of circuits

Course Outline

This 2-day course will provide training for those who wish to obtain mass balanced data from a plant survey. It will familiarise attendees with the full range of facilities available within JKMultiBal. The topics covered include:

• Overview of mass balancing
• Features of JKMBal and JKMultiBal
• Case studies
• Mass balance control
• Flowsheet definition
• Import and export of data to files and spreadsheets

Attendees are encouraged to bring some survey data with them to demonstrate the capabilities of the two software packages. This course will have a heavy emphasis on 'hands-on' work and one computer will be required for each two attendees.
