COVID-19 and masks: Best practices

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to evolve, many public health agencies across the country are requiring people to wear masks in enclosed or covered public spaces. They are also strongly recommending that masks be worn when physical distancing cannot be respected. Here are some best practices for properly wearing masks, thereby limiting the spread of the virus.

Problems with power quality at electrical installations

To varying degrees, there are many types of disturbances that can affect the electrical power supply of customers that are connected to a public power distribution system. These can include transient overvoltages, voltage dips, harmonics issues, voltage flicker or fluctuations, or unexpected but short-lived interruptions. Power quality issues can arise from both the distributor system and from client installations. In addition to disturbing the plant’s power system, the client’s perturbating equipment is likely to affect the distribution system and cause cross-disturbances with other clients, hence the reason for emission limits imposed by the distributor on clients.

Operating remotely: using cameras as sensor (CAMAAS)

Operating a remote site is quite challenging when the telecommunications bandwidth is limited, especially when using CCTV cameras to monitor critical equipment or processes. Process cameras are normally installed in strategic locations to indicate spills, blockage, or to ensure product quality or specifications. In some cases, there are so many cameras that it makes it impossible for operational personnel to optimally use them. Result: Cameras and digital video recorders are not used to their fullest potential.

Slurry pump design: what you need to know

Centrifugal slurry pumps are essential to mineral processing facilities. This type of pump differs from conventional water pumps in several ways. This blog article looks at these differences and the principles that guide slurry pump design.

Operating industrial electrical networks remotely

The COVID-19 crisis has highlighted a major issue for industrial companies: operating their electrical network remotely is no longer an option, but a necessity. Indeed, these companies must ensure the continuity of their operations at all times, even when access restrictions are imposed or the availability of workers is reduced. Today, all companies face the scarcity of specialized technical labour and the need to rely on cutting-edge expertise, more specifically during crises such as COVID-19. However, not having the means required to operate electrical networks remotely jeopardizes the sustainability of facilities owned by many companies and their ability to produce and deliver under any circumstances. To meet these challenges, investments must be properly planned to quickly and successfully implement systems required to efficiently and safely operate your electrical network remotely.

Slurry flow simulation with 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD)

Slurry flow is a common means of transporting solid particles in the mining and mineral processing industry. Depending on the slurry mixture, the flow can be very erosive and, at times, maintaining the piping system can be quite challenging. On the other hand, due to the complexity of flow characteristics, it is very difficult to accurately predict slurry flow performance and its erosion rate by only using manual calculation or imperial methods.
