Mining Company Improves Surge Control Efficiency with Rosemount TM Conditioning Orifice Technology RESULTS • Accurate and repeatable measurement in short piping installation • Improved response time for compressor surge control • Improved process control and efficiency APPLICATION Air flow measurement to the blowers during copper smelting CUSTOMER South American Mining Company CHALLENGE In the mining industry, the smelting phase is a difficult process to control due to the various gases and concentrates used for this process. Blowers utilize oxygen enriched air that is provided to the furnace. During the smelting phase, the converter is continuously loaded with copper concentrate and silica (quartz) for fusion-conversion. In the fusion-conversion process, slag is separated from the
