JKSimMet Software
JKSimMet was developed for the analysis and simulation of comminution and classification circuits in mineral processing operations. It is designed for metallurgists who wish to apply process analysis techniques to characterise and optimise plant performance; and design engineers who require process simulation models to assess design alternatives.
JKSimMet integrates all tasks associated with data analysis, optimisation, design and simulation, including the storage and manipulation of models, data and results, within one package. Mass balancing and model fitting of complete circuits are standard features.
It is fully interactive and operates with high resolution colour graphics. These graphics facilitate the display of detailed plant flowsheets and accompanying information.
JKSimMet was designed by researchers from The University of Queensland’s Julius Kruttschnitt Mineral Research Centre (JKMRC).
JKSimMet Training
JKSimMet training develops modelling and simulation skills for design and optimisation of comminution and classification circuits using JKTech’s award-winning interactive software package. The package is designed for plant metallurgists who wish to apply process analysis techniques to characterise plant performance for optimisation purposes, and design engineers who require process simulation models to assess design alternatives.
This course provides training for those who wish to learn the principles of applying simulation to the design and optimisation of grinding and crushing circuits.
