(2001)所记述的48行的帽形衬垫设计与72行的衬垫相比其生产率和磨损率相去甚远。与MEI制造厂商合作设计出36行的举升机和衬垫并于2001年投入使用,使磨碎机在其生命周期内的生产率提高了23%。一些根据技术细则手册设计的36条垫板的并发的产生,在生产率上没有和第一个测验中所显示的那样表现出同样的进步.磨机的性能和72条机构一样。36条设计继续遭受垫板的过早破损,导致了在垫板寿命的最后一到两个月里未意料到的停工期。磨机垫板设计的DEM模型说明代25度齿面角提升机构的36条提升机构和盘状垫板能提高生产率.在2002年12月这套垫板的安装没有显示出明显生产率的提升。这套垫板过早破损而迫使在使用了仅仅三个月之后就要去除这些垫板。36条垫板在运行中引起了一些问题.在使用一样的卸料筛,装球量和充料速度下与72条垫板设计相比36条垫板平均形成了多出50%的卵石.由于卵石的增加卵石非常脏,恶化了卵石循环输送和低下的卵石碰撞性能所带来的问题.在精细的矿石填充的情况下36条设计磨机不能有效的提升,因为比72条设计磨机更低的生产率.而在粗糙矿石填充的情况下,36条设计比72条垫板设计更胜一筹。36条垫板设计中的垫板盘的过早破损和涉及到在生产率没有任何改善下卵石循环性能的运行问题的结合,导致了2005年两种磨机72条设计被重新使用的决定。72条有15度的提升机构齿面角,并且别加强来增加垫板总磨损寿命。将来对于垫板设计的修正把目标定在在不影响生产率的情况下增加磨损寿命。SAG磨机筛和矿浆提升机构SAG磨机筛和矿浆提升机构以及卸料机构一直在经历着为提高可维护性,卵石制造率和磨机卸料率方面的改进。筛孔从一开始就在稳定的增加。在2000年一个25毫米和60毫米结合筛发展到2001年40毫米和60毫米结合筛.到2002年所有60毫米筛的使用为维持卵石制造和磨机生产率成为了必要。卵石碰撞筛的安装之后90毫米筛试验不久便开始。当前筛结构使用的是比80毫米筛更均衡的80毫米和60毫米的结合筛.三分之一筛的替换维持了新和部分旧筛的混合和贯穿筛总寿命的平均筛孔和开口区域。以前所有筛的替换由于更低的开口区域和筛孔尺寸最初减少了磨机生产率。筛孔尺寸的每个改动符合压低卵石生成量的粗糙充料量和矿石硬度的的增加。随着粗糙充料量降低更少卵石率,卵石生成率已经典型的达到了15-22%。随着2002年磨机生长率的提高, 因为磨机突然停止时观测到的矿浆池的存在,SAG磨机卸料能力在非常高的生产率下变成了一个阻碍。研磨最后的完全卸料由Metso赞助进行重新设计使筛与磨机前部分离,这样是为了在靠近磨机出料口制造一个更深的矿浆提升机构髓室和增加矿浆排出能力。筛磨损的观测说明部分内筛很少在磨机上的矿石内部充料机构里所以对去除磨机内矿浆或者卵石没什么作用。然而从筛背面的磨损可以看出它带来了矿浆明显回流到滚筒的现象。外筛被延伸内筛的剩下部分被封锁。这种改变减少了在重新换板停工期间需要替换的量,通过减少回流到研磨室的量提高了矿浆排出量。研磨钢球尺寸和填充Batu Hijau半自动磨机被设计来使用伴随着12-14%125毫米钢球的使用率的改变。2002年装球量逐渐增长到18%并且产生了研磨生产量上的明显提高.2003年的一项试验中减少磨机中钢球填充量到14%,证实了生产量5-10%的降低.钢球填充量现在维持在16-18%。133和140毫米大钢球的试用最初旨在增加磨机产量但是可预测的影响没被重视.但是随钢球尺寸的增加总钢球消耗量减少了,随着80毫米筛孔的采用这变得更加重要.现在的磨机普遍采用133毫米钢球,钢球消费率为0.4kg/t。主动控制成本 Batu Hijau管理者从车间工厂实际出发,不断促进文化进步并寻找公司新的理念。这些想法也许对于普通雇员实施起来很快很容易,但在管理者那里具体操作过程中就是要节省维修及其它费用。实行对多种操作能力的员工的小褒奖制度,引入持续竞争的思想。另外一些更加鲜明的主动节省成本的描述包含在下面这个报告中:l 从磨碎机碾磨房废弃物中回收钢珠加入球磨房l 在运转过程中下部机构支撑区域保持动力供给l 选择更加有效的试剂作反应物l 地方与全球供应商同步预购结论 Batu Hijau磨碎机的连续改进表明未来将设计生产量比过去几年更加优越的磨碎机。经过对正常的商业案例的瓶颈和发展的系统鉴定,证明获取重要过程收益的关键在于降低基础设施成本。这些工程已经改变了规格不等的设计和材料设备供应商,为流程变革投入重要的工程和资本开支。参考书目B.

Mular, Pacific Advertising Printing & Graphics, Delta, BC,Canada, 2001BATU HIJAU SEVEN YEARS OF OPERATION AND CONTINUOUSIMPROVEMENTABSTRACTSince the 1999 commissioning of the Batu Hijau concentrator, a systematic approach of continuous improvement has allowed the concentrator to exceed its name plate production capacity of 120,000 tonnes per day since 2001. Production improvements were achieved by de-bottlenecking the ore treatment process from the mine through the concentrator.This paper will discuss improvements in the following areas: Expansions of the SAG Mill pebble crushing circuit Enhanced mine blasting and blending efforts Mill availability SAG mill liner, grate and pulp lifter optimisation Mill ball size and load Cyclone feed pump and cyclone upgrades Process control upgrades Cost control initiativesINTRODUCTIONThe Batu Hijau Concentrator was commissioned in September 1999 with a nameplate capacity of 120,000 tonnes per day at 92% mill availability.The comminution circuit comprised primary gyratory crushing, overland conveying and stockpiling to feed two parallel grinding lines in SABC configuration with one 36 foot diameter SAG mill, two 20 foot diameter ball mills and one MP1000 pebble crusher per line. McClaren et. al.(2001) described the design, construction and first two years of operation in significant detail and will not be revisited in this paper except to provide context for subsequent improvements. The first year of operation was plagued with numerous equipment availability issues and less than name plate throughput rates. By mid 2001 equipment availability and mill throughput rates had improved to design levels through improved operating and maintenance practices and numerousminor equipment modifications.Around this time copper and gold prices were depressed which added significant pressure to production rates and operating costs at Batu Hijau. A strategic operating review was conducted in 2001 to identify de-bottlenecking opportunities from the mine through the process plant with the aim of increasing production rates. The study concluded that opportunity existed for significant throughput increases from a range of incremental unit improvements at relatively low capital expenditure.These opportunities were captured on a master list and tackled in turn over subsequent years. The major initiatives are described in the body of this paper.PRODUCTION HISTORYProcess production rates have been variable over the life of Batu Hijau due to process improvements and variable ore hardness. Progressive increases in ore hardness have offset throughput gains over the past several years but have allowed the operation to continue to exceed design capacity (see Figure 1).Copper and gold production rates, as shown in Figure 2, have also varied due to seasonal phasing of mining plans which involve mining as much high grade from the bottom of the pit during the dry season but then pulling out of the pit bottom at the start of the wet season. Mill feed grades can vary from less than 0.5% Cu to more than 0.9% Cu between wet and dry seasons. These seasonal fluctuations have placed pressure on cleaner flotation and concentrate handling capacity during the high grade dry season periods.EXPANSIONS OF THE SAG MILL PEBBLE CRUSHING CIRCUITThe pebble crushing circuit originally installed at Batu Hijau (next page,Figure 3) was plagued by a number of operating, maintenance and capacity issues as described by McClaren (2001). A significant operational problem related to limited surge capacity in the crusher feed bin producing frequent overflows of the surge bin, requiring immediate loader cleanup. In late 2000 the overflow chute was modified and conveyors installed to return bin overflow directly to the SAG mill feed belts to eliminate the loader rehandle requirement.The pebble conveying circuit included vertical bucket conveyors which generated a range of safety, maintenance and cleanup problems from the bucket conveyors flinging rocks into the plant and frequent damage to the bucker conveyor belts. Poor pebble crushing circuit availability in 2000 and 2001 can be largely attributed to these bucket conveyors and incomplete removal of steel balls from the pebble crusher feed resulting in premature failure of crusher liners. In 2001 approval was given for addition of one crusher and complete redesign and installation of conventional conveyors to transport pebbles.to and from the new crusher installation. The conveyor system included four large Eriez belt magnets two in cross belt and two installed on conveyor transfer points to improve steel ball removal. The installation was completed and the existing two pebble crushers relocated to the new crusher building in February 2002. This installation improved pebble circuit availability significantly and increased nominal milling rates by more than 5,000 tonnes per day.Removal of steel from crusher feed was still a problem with the new circuit however, due to the practice of returning large quantities of ball mill trommel oversize to the SAG mill feed stockpile. Reject balls from the ball mill are typically 20-30mm polygonal steel shapes which pass directly through the SAG mill and report to the SAG mill trammel oversize. If these small steel balls are buried on the conveyor they can not be effectively recovered by the magnets.Magnet operation was further complicated by the presence of some magnetite in the ore so that magnet sensitivity was reduced. Metal detectors on crusher feeders have been effective as the last line of defence to keep steel balls out of the crushers. Operating practices require operators to respond to a metal detector trip of the crusher feeder and locate the steel ball buried in the pebbles. Periods of extended primary crusher maintenance have necessitated dozing of stockpiled ball mill scats into the mill feeders. The resulting flood of ball chips into the pebble circuit resulted in the pebble crushers becoming.inoperable until the primary crusher came back online as metal detectors were tripping crusher feeders every few minutes. By mid 2003 modifications to both SAG and ball mill trommels screens and sprays reduced the volume of ball mill scats so they could be effectively segregated and taken to a landfill site, this has eliminated steel ball chips from pebble crusher feed.Capacity of the comminution circuit had been traditionally SAG mill or pebble crusher limited. A review of de-bottlenecking options in 2002identified a change to the pebble crushing circuit would produce a nominal 10,000 tpd increase in total circuit throughput by directing the minus 10mm portion of pebble crusher product directly to the ball mills and the plus 10mm portion returned to the pebble crushers, essentially open circuiting the SAG mills. The production improvement was justified on plant trials demonstrating increased SAG mill feed rates when pebbles were not recycled, with increases of 0.5-0.6 tonnes of fresh feed for every 1 tonne of crushed pebbles not recycled to the SAG mill feed. The modified flowsheet shown in Figure 4 (next page), required the addition of a fourth MP1000 crusher (completed in March 2003) and two 3.6m by 7.3m single deck Schenck vibrating screens (July 2003).On start up of the pebble screens a 20% drop in pebble production rate from the SAG mill was noted due to the removal of recycled crushed pebbles from the mill feed. This decrease allowed the mill discharge grate apertures to be opened from 60mm to 80mm to increase pebble production rates to previous levels.The pebble screens have suffered from mechanical and operating problems due to a combination of light weight screen design, high wear on screen structural members requiring additional preventative maintenance and poor screening efficiency due to thick operating bed depths. Wear rates of cyclone feed pumps and hydrocyclone liners also increased due to the introduction of sharp crushed pebbles into the cyclone feed.Pebble crusher operation improved from less than 60% effectiveutilisation to over 80% and average crusher power draw increased from 60% to 80% of installed motor power as a result of more consistent feed rates due to the recirculating load of screen oversize, improved dewatering of SAG mill pebbles through installation of static grizzly screens in SAG trommel discharge chutes and elimination of steel balls from crusher feed. Crusher liners are now worn out rather than cracking early due to ball damage.ENHANCED MINE BLASTING AND BLENDING EFFORTSThe effect of SAG mill feed size on throughput rates is significant and is discussed by Burger et al (2006) who illustrated the influence of in-situ fracture spacing in the rock as measured by Rock Quality Index (RQD)on SAG mill feed size and mill throughput rate is shown previously in Figure 5 (next page). Installation of Split cameras on SAG mill feed conveyors in 2002 allowed development of improved ore characterisation and tailoring blast designs to rock types to reduce SAG mill feed size variability. Modified blast designs were standardised into a drill and blast cookbook in 2004 which use high powder factors in competent ores and conserve powder in softer/fractured ores.Throughput improvements of up to 10-15% on the hardest ore types were modelled and subsequently verified with operating data in 2004.Due to the mix of ore types in mill feed the application of the cookbookblast designs have improved throughput rates by 2-7% on an annual basis.Improved characterisation of ore types has improved mill throughput predictions and optimisation of mine ore delivery blends to maximize mill throughput and metal production rates.MILL AVAILABILITYMill availability and utilisation (Figure 6, next page) has improved over the life of the project from less than design of 92% to 94-95% over the past few years. These improvements have been the result of improved maintenance planning, execution of maintenance plans, modifications to mill component and ancillary equipment designs and complete upgrades of certain equipment. Major improvements have been. Simultaneous SAG mill relines commenced in 2004 to provide more frequent maintenance opportunities on the tailings pipeline and cleaner flotation circuit. Annual tailings pipeline maintenance with only one SAG mill line being worked on resulted in 48 hours of lost availability on the other grinding line. Upgrade of cyclone feed pumps from GIW 24/22 to Krebs 28/26 and Warman Ash 650 pumps in 2004 extending time between maintenance shutdowns from 5 weeks to 12-13 weeks. As Batu Hijau only has one cyclone feed pump installed per ball mill reducing frequency and duration of pump driven downtime improved mill availability by 0.5%. Installation of rubber trommel panels in SAG and ball mills from 2001 and improved panel designs extended wear life from 2-3 weeks to 12 weeks in the highest wear zones. Failure of polyurethane panels contributed to almost 1% unplanned downtime in 2001 and allowed large pebbles and grinding balls into the cyclone feed pumps and cyclones. These types of failures are successfully avoided with proper preventative maintenance. Pebble circuit upgrade in 2002 removed the vertical bucket conveyors from the pebble circuit, increasing pebble circuit availability to 90%. Installation of 100mm thick rubber liner blocks and ceramic tiles in mill discharge launders and sumps has reduced thefrequency of downtime required for this repair work and unplanned downtime to repair leaks.SAG MILL LINER, GRATE AND PULP LIFTER OPTIMISATIONSAG Mill Liner Design Trials and TribulationsThe original SAG mill liner design at Batu Hijau was a 72 row Hi-Lo top hat style liner with 12 degrees of lifter face angle relief. Several alternative lifter/liner designs have been tested in one mill in an attempt to increase mill throughput rates and extend liner life. The use of a tripper to feed the two SAG mill feed stockpiles ensures both mills receive the same feed so long term comparisons of mill performance are not influenced by stockpile segregation etc.The first liner trial of a 48 row Hi-Hi top hat liner design is described by McClaren et. al. (2001) as a failure with mill throughput rates and wear rates far poorer than the 72 row liners.Working with the liner manufacturer MEI, a 36 row lifter and plate design was installed in late 2001 and showed a 2-3 % increase in millthroughput rates over the life of the liner set. This liner set was removed prematurely due to excessive breakage of the liner plates.Several subsequent generations of the 36 row liner design from MEI did not show the same improvement in throughput rates observed in the first test. The mill performance was on par with the 72 row design. The 36 row designs continued to suffer from premature liner plate breakage resulting in significant unplanned downtime in the final month or two of the liner life.Ball mills are operated with a 33% ball charge which draws maximum motor power. The mills were operated with a 25:75 mix of 90mm and 65mm balls from 2001 to 2004 before the 90mm balls were changed for a harder 80mm ball to reduce ball consumption. Current operation use a 15:85 blend of new 65mm and 80mm, with 90mm diameter SAG mill reject balls added to reduce new ball consumption.SAG mill reject balls collected by the pebble conveyor magnets are hand sorted and added to the ball mills, a ball sorting machine is being designed and built this year. SAG reject ball addition comprises more than 30% of total ball addition to the ball mills and has reduced new ball consumption
