Why geotechnical data needs its own modelling approach in modern mining: a block modelling example from the Santa Cruz project

Block modelling is a cornerstone of modern mine planning. It transforms isolated spatial point data, typically assay values for metal grades like gold, copper, nickel, iron etc., into a continuous, volumetric representation of data/information within an ore body. For decades, geostatistical methods such as kriging and inverse distance weighting have formed the backbone of this practice, allowing engineers to estimate grade distribution with strong mathematical confidence.

NFPA 660: A unified standard for better combustible dust risk management

Industrial facility owners and health and safety managers often navigate an ecosystem where explosion safety guidelines may be confusing. With various stakeholders—such as authorities, service providers and equipment suppliers—sometimes offering conflicting information, it can be difficult to distinguish between mandatory requirements and optional recommendations. Everyone will be delighted to learn that the new NFPA 660 standard seeks to resolve these ambiguities! This new standard will provide guidance on how to manage combustible and explosive dust hazards into a single document. This document covers both fundamental principles of combustion and ignition, as well as specific safety protocols applicable across various industries, including lumber, food, metal or other industries. Avoid falling into the trap of inadequate or incomplete protective measures or the opposite, excessive protective measures, which may be far too costly and particularly difficult to maintain. This article provides an overview of key updates in NFPA 660 and offers insights into current effective combustible dust risk management.

El papel del hidrógeno hacia un futuro más verde

El compromiso de lograr cero emisiones netas de gases de efecto invernadero está impulsando la búsqueda de tecnologías energéticas más limpias y comercialmente viables. Como resultado, la demanda mundial de hidrógeno, conocido como un portador de energía versátil, está creciendo de manera constante en todo el mundo a la vez que enfrenta grandes obstáculos en cada paso de la cadena de suministro. Un cambio hacia una producción de hidrógeno con emisiones negativas de carbono requiere una transformación a todo nivel, un desafío para todos los involucrados.

Enhancing process optimization with control loop performance monitoring

In today’s relentless pursuit of optimized production, industries have a wealth of data readily at hand as well as access to advanced analytical tools. However, these technological advances, while promising, can also include complexities that challenge operations across various industries. A recent survey conducted by GatePoint Research revealed that nearly 90% of executives in process industries are increasingly concerned about how complicated their operations are becoming. This is where control loop performance monitoring (CLPM) solutions come in. They offer valuable advantages and help overcome these challenges.
