Transforming process prediction for effective control

APPCo aims to transform unit process modelling and simulation, moving on from the steady-state models previously developed at JKMRC, to develop and apply new techniques that make greater use of data generated on-site and sensor technologies in combination with advanced process control, computational analytics and modelling techniques.

Research within the APPCo program will focus on the following foundation themes:

  • Integrated process prediction
  • Advanced ore characterisation for mechanistic modelling
  • Dynamic process modelling
  • Resource utilisation and sustainability metrics
  • Liberation modelling
  • Advanced data analytics
  • Instrumentation and soft sensors
