Metallurgical Test Work Management and Consulting
Typically, the aim of metallurgical test work is to generate sufficient data for flowsheet preparation for a particular level of study or detailed engineering.
MetalX would specify the sample type and size to be tested, test work objectives, type of analyses and any specific procedures to follow in order to collect the necessary data for process engineering and flowsheet development.
MetalX provides on and off-site consulting services for all types of mineral and metal processing plants.
