Power up your simulations with seamless integration of mineral processing models! We are excited to announce the release of the new SysCAD Met Dynamics Add-On, developed in collaboration with Scott Munro at Met Dynamics. With this new feature, SysCAD becomes even more versatile as a single platform for detailed simulation across applications in mineral processing, hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy, water treatment, utilities…

Bringing the heat to process simulation! We are pleased to announce that we will be attending the MOLTEN 2024 conference in Brisbane, Australia, June 17-19. Join us at our booth to discover how SysCAD is used for pyrometallurgical process modelling. Explore our embedded Gibbs Free Energy Minimiser (GFEM), specialised species database for high-temperature applications, state-of-the-art ChemApp interface with seamless connectivity…

We are pleased to announce our participation in ALTA 2024, taking place in Perth, Western Australia, from May 27-31. Please join us as our colleague Brett Schug presents “Thermodynamic Modelling of Rare Earth Solvent Extraction”, coauthored by Kevin Heppner. This paper and presentation explores a fundamental first-principles approach for modelling rare-earth element (REE) separation by solvent extraction. This approach is…

We are looking forward to exhibiting and presenting for the first time at the Sugar Industry Technologists Annual Technical Meeting in Vancouver, Canada, 28 April – 1 May 2024. Emily Smyth of SysCAD and Eleanor McFeaters Louisiana Sugar Refining (LSR) will present “SysCAD Neural Network Models for LSR Dynamic Sugar Crystal Growth Prediction”, based on their paper co-authored by Tanai…

We are proud to be presenting a keynote address at AQW Alumina 2024. John McFeaters will take you on a journey through the history of process modelling in the alumina industry, with a look to the future of emerging simulation technologies. The keynote presentation is based on our paper “40 Years of Process Simulation with a Focus on Energy and…

We’re looking forward to exhibiting at MetPlant 2023 in Adelaide, South Australia, November 5-8! Join us as Kevin Heppner presents on “First Principles Modelling of Mine Wastewater Treatment”, demonstrating the practical benefits in operations and design when applying detailed simulation for wastewater treatment. In keeping with the MetPlant conference theme of “World’s Best Practice in Metallurgical Plant Design and Operating Strategies”, we…

We were recently invited to present at the 14th Annual Academic Conference of the Nonferrous Metals Society of China (NFsoc), July 28-30 in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, China. John McFeaters of SysCAD and Chen Yuguo (Alex) of the Shenyang Aluminum & Magnesium Engineering & Research Institute (SAMI) presented on “Marginal Cost Analysis in Process Decision Making”. The presentation detailed the use…

We’re exhibiting and presenting at COM 2023, the 62nd Conference of Metallurgists, on Aug 21-24, 2023, in Toronto, Canada. Join the discussion on climate change and sustainability with fellow metallurgists and materials scientists. Visit our booth to discuss how SysCAD simulation can help achieve sustainability and energy reduction goals in process plant design and operations. Tanai Marín will present “Theoretical…

We will be attending the 25th GTT Users’ Meeting next week. Registration is still open, and the event is free to attend. Kevin Heppner will present on the use of the THEREDA database in SysCAD TCE using ChemApp. This demonstrates the application of ChemApp in aqueous chemistry, rather than the more common pyrometallurgy use. The example model presented accurately predicts…

SysCAD will be attending Pyro Community Day on 20 April, an online event as part of Pyro Week 2023 hosted by Ex Mente. The event promises to be an excellent opportunity to learn about the latest developments in sustainable pyrometallurgy, and to connect with other professionals in the industry. Dr Tanai Marin will be presenting “Modelling non-ideal binary solutions using…
