Why this Course?
In the hydro-metallurgical industry designing of circuits can be a complex and tedius process. Processes may involve recycle streams some are subject to many changes for example the ores being received may change resulting in changes throughout the circuit. Now if one is using traditional methods of pen and paper or excel they are subjected to many errors. Besides that the time one will take to design or redesign a circuit from crushing to tailings is a lot of which time is money. In some cases huge losses are realized.

METSIM can be used to construct metallurgical processes quickly. One can quickly make changes when they see the process not working in the Simulation software. It also saves a lot of money as you get to experiment in the simulation environment without actually buying equipment and reagents.
METSIM also has almost everything that one would need in the hydro-metallurgy sector from crushing, milling, leaching, tailings treatment and many other processes. It can handle from mass balances, heat balances, dynamic modeling among other tools making it the go to simulation software for hydro-metallurgical processes.
