Comminution Modeling
MODELING OF CRUSHERS, MILLS AND GRINDERS
DESCRIPTION
PLAPIQUI has experience in the modeling of comminution devices. We have developed and validated models for industrial, pilot plant and lab units.
We offer you our capabilities in:
• Theoretical modeling of comminution processes by using fundamental balances and population balance equation (PBE) in continuous or batch operation. We can also offer simplified models of these operations with a discrete element (DEM) approach.
• Estimation of breakage functions for PBEs from experimental or plant data and/or calibration of DEM models.
• Simulation, optimization and control studies of comminution processes
• Design of experiments for the production of materials with a desired particle size distribution in different crushers, mills and grinders
