210 XXXI International Mineral Processing Congress 2024 Proceedings/Washington, DC/Sep 29–Oct 3
FUTURE DIRECTION &CONCLUSIONS
Designs for HPSA units are currently being scaled to 20–50
tph, with intentions to further suit industrial needs near
the 250 tph range. To do this, Disa is collaborating with
Fluor Corporation for the design of the third-generation
continuous units. These Gen C units will utilize lessons
learned from Gen B pilot projects, CFD+DEM modelling
(Weaver, 2024), academic studies (Mitchell, 2023 &
Antoniak, 2020), and model verification testing. The first
iteration of Gen C will be a 20 tph unit, which will be the
platform of design for a 50 tph unit. Finally, any developed
improvements to HPSA technology can be directly applied
to improve the viability and efficiencies and operations
related to HPSA AUM and mineral processing.
