This course is a build-up to our first METSIM Basic training.

The course is made to enhance the technical expertise of METSIM users with basic METSIM navigation skills. It includes hands-on practical materials as well as advanced concepts and applications of METSIM. METSIM advanced course equips the Engineers with practical skills and knowledge to solve real world problems using of mineral process simulation technology and METSIM Software.

Are you a student or professional in the field of Mining Engineering, Metallurgy, Chemical Engineering, Process Plant Designing, Metallurgical Engineering, or the science of Metals and have not been able to utilize process simulation software specific to Minerals processing industry, process modeling, simulation and optimization of real-world problems? Don’t worry as THIS IS THE COURSE FOR YOU!

This course will expose you to a software specific to Minerals industry with embedded mineral processing unit operations like Crushers, SAG Mills, Kilns, Material handling Equipment etc. which are not found in other simulation softwares like ASPEN PLUS, ASPEN HYSYS, and DWSIM.

In this course, students will be equipped with practical skills and knowledge of how to perform successful simulation studies of real world scenarios using METSIM software.

NB: Students are strongly encouraged to follow through the demonstrations and repeat the practicals on their own computers.

• 1st part is Introduction Theory. (25%)
• 2nd part is Practical sessions. (75%)

Here’s  a quick review of METSIM Software.

METSIM provides an interactive, fast and accurate means of solving costing, heat balance and material balance problems in a vast number of applications. The software is used by many companies throughout the world to design, simulate and control operations from mine to tailings and everything in between. At its absolute simplest, METSIM software can be used to create a process flowsheet. The modules in METSIM covers mass and energy balances for either steady-state or dynamic simulations of mine, stockpile, heap leach, material handling, comminution, beneficiation, hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy, gas and steam handling, and tailings management processes.
