Geminex™ Operator Training Simulator
Metso Geminex™ operator training simulator (OTS) is an advanced learning simulator tool for the effective training of both new and experienced minerals processing operators. It provides a safe and controlled environment to learn all the necessary skills for the effective operation of modern process control systems. Geminex™ OTS is available for all concentrator plant and hydrometallurgy processing areas, including grinding, flotation, dewatering, solvent extraction & electrowinning, carbon in leach (CIL), carbon in pulp (CIP) and pressure oxidation. It is available in two main configurations, generic or plant specific solutions.
Generic Geminex™ OTS
Generic Geminex™ OTS is a dynamic simulation of a generic minerals processing or hydrometallurgical circuit to help understand the use of the equipment and process dynamics with professional training material. This is an effective and cost-efficient way for plant operators to learn about individual process areas in hydrometallurgical areas or concentrator plants. Generic OTS systems are fast and easy to set up for customers, available online, cover specific process stages as well as full concentrator and hydrometallurgical plants.
Plant specific Geminex™ OTS
If a customer wants to take the next step and tailor the simulator training to their exact plant layout and flowsheet, then a Plant Specific OTS is the best option. It is a dynamic simulation of plant specific processing circuits with a realistic Process Control System (PCS) interface to help operators better understand a plant’s dynamics under variable conditions. Plant operators can practice on a simulation of their own plant and gain hands-on experience running their circuits or full plant processes in a safe, controlled and risk-free environment. This option requires some pre-work to configure the simulator to match the customers circuit or plant.
