MatchPRO

Synchronise your DMC circuits for immediate gains.

Overview

Australian coking coal DMS plants waste around half a billion dollars worth of product per year due to inefficient partition curves. These are caused by poor Epm from individual separators and bypass or mis-alignment of cut points in parallel circuits.

Using RFID tracers and CurvePRO hardware, Partition Enterprises has developed a simple low-cost procedure to determine the cut point for multiple circuits and align modules for optimal performance.

What is MatchPRO?

MatchPRO is an additional feature to Partition Enterprises CurvePRO RFID tracer system for monitoring and optimising DMC operation.

It allows a single operator, at low cost, to rapidly determine the cut point of all DMC modules in a single test using only one third of the tracers used in a regular CurvePRO audit. Results from a MatchPRO test are used to equalise parallel module cut points, thereby increasing plant-wide DMC yield.

Note: A MatchPRO upgrade can only occur where there is an existing CurvePRO system and contract in place.

Determine the individual cut points of up to 8 DMCs by a single operator in less than 1 hour.

How MatchPRO Works

MatchPRO will simultaneously determine the individual cut points of up to 8 DMCs by a single operator in less than 1 hour.

Results from a MatchPRO test will be used to determine new medium density set point modifiers for each DMC module, thereby minimising the cut point spread between modules and increasing plant-wide DMC yield.

Tracers are added to the DMC feed for partitioning.

Detectors identify tracers in product and reject streams.

Parallel module cut points are equalised, increasing plant-wide DMC yield.

Advantages of MatchPRO

MatchPRO enables determination of DMC cut points to be a low-cost, simple, rapid, sampling-free process for an operator on site. These factors ensure that the project has a high chance of long-term success.

Determination of multiple DMC cut points in a single test.
Low-cost application using 66% less tracers than a CurvePRO audit.
Rapid testing with efficient results in less than on hour.
Requires only a single operator with no external contractors.
Hazard-free on-site testing with no off-site sampling required.
