Algoness (Pty) Ltd Information

Algoness is a provider of specialised process modelling services and products aimed at the mining and metals sector. We innovatively apply modelling and data analysis techniques that relates technical material and operational parameters to each other, incorporating financial factors to identify and explore economic drivers. This allows us to evaluate process feasibility in terms profitability, focus process improvements, and determine the value-in-use of materials. We have experience with various chemical and metallurgical processes, with a focus on modelling equipment and material properties of pyrometallurgical process flowsheets. Our services and products are applicable to all processes from the mine to final product, and over the projects lifecycle from concept study phase to process operation. Applications include: - Techno-economic process modelling: Components of the materials processing flowsheet are modelled to determine mass and energy flows, linked to costs it enables estimations for operating costs as functions of material properties and operation conditions. - Material value-in-use analysis: Specific application of techno-economic models of processes in which a particular material is used, determining its value based on effects caused by its chemical, physical, and metallurgical properties relative to similar competitor products and pricing. - Process analysis and optimization: Modelling of metallurgical and chemical process aspects and application of advanced data analysis techniques to generate intelligence that could be applied towards process improvement.
