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
