CiDRA Minerals Processing has announced that Anglo American has awarded it a contract to supply SONARtrac process monitoring systems to the Los Bronces Development Project. The systems were chosen to provide flow measurements at multiple key monitoring points on the new slurry pipeline, designed and managed by Ausenco PSI. These critical measurements will be used for operational control as well as leak detection along the pipeline to the concentrator plant. Ausenco PSI, under contract with Bechtel Chile, was responsible for the engineering plan and field engineering support for the expansion project’s slurry and reclaimed water pipeline. (more…)
