| Subject: | Unique Wireless and Foundation Fieldbus Applications at Escondida Copper Mine | |||||||||||
 When
Escondida, the largest Copper Mine in the world,
asked ABB to participate in the Sulphide Leach
project, they had 2 unique automation
requirements for managing various parts of their
process. First, in the Leach Process, they
needed to have a "mobile" control solution
mobile so they could move from one section of
the Leach Pad to another as the Ore was
extracted. Second, the Leach Plant was separated
from the Electrowinning Plant via a 15 km
pipeline that required Leach Detection over the
length of the pipeline without having any
external power feed to each monitoring station.
This presentation will review the unique
solutions which were applied to achieve the
desired results. |
