Improving the energy efficiency of comminution – Be careful what you wish for!
Speaker: Dr Stephen Morrell, Managing Director, SMC Testing
Abstract: An holistic view needs to be taken of the entire process that comminution contributes to when considering the potential impact on greenhouse gas emissions that improving its energy efficiency might have.
Speaker: Steve Morrell majored in metallurgical engineering at Imperial College in London from 1977-1980 and spent the next 7 years gaining practical experience working on African mines before moving to Australia and completing Masters and Doctorate theses in grinding mill simulation and power draw modelling at the JKMRC.
Employed at the JKMRC from 1989 till 2000, Steve led research projects such as the AMIRA P9, as well as HPGR, Fine Grinding and Mine-to-Mill comminution programs. In 2000, Steve started his own consultancy (SMCC Pty Ltd), and a few years later founded SMC Testing Pty Ltd to license the SMC Test®.
