Environment Modelling
Decisions optimised with BlendOpt also can have significant environmental impacts from beneficiation to carbon-chain footprint optimisation. Please contact us to learn more about environment modelling in BlendOpt and whether it is right for your operation.
Beneficiation
- BlendOpt is well known for it's optimisation and detailed modelling of recovery, concentrate grade and plant efficiency and can likewise model and optimise environment costs with ease, including processing of waste (rejects, tailings), chemical reagent usage, energy consumption, and water usage.
Carbon Chain Footprint
- BlendOpt is probably best known for its ability to optimise product portfolios to align market, mining, beneficiation and logistics conditions. But did you know BlendOpt can also model and optimise carbon footprint of strategic decisions? We can help our customers discover and analyze options with comparable commercial optimality yet significant difference in carbon footprint. In some cases this may even include modelling downstream value in use that extends outside the physical scope of your value chain!
