Coal Analysis and Benefaction

A coal project's mineral resource management relies on quality assurance in geological application software which processes complex primary geological and analytical data sets and produces many result sets.

​

The specialised application module CAB adds value to the primary data through ‘Coal Analysis and Beneficiation' (washability) functionality which predicts coal qualities subject to product cut-offs.

 

The existing coal software solution is smart, rugged and proven. It functions well for all manner of coal deposits, including Waterberg, Soutpansberg and Highveld coal fields.

DATA MANAGEMENT

  • Capture and storage of all types of coal-related data, including geological observations and interpretations, geophysics (eg LAS file data), images, reports and sampling details

  • Import and storage of a wide variety of analytical data for raw, screened, washed and composite fractions, including proximate qualities, coking properties, ash compositions, ash fusion temperatures, petrographic analyses, and many more

  • Comprehensive validation of both field and laboratory derived data sets

  • Auto-generated management views and reports to track progress of drilling project and result generation.

DATA PROCESSING

  • Calculation of composites for raw or fractional data using a range of methods to determine selected samples (by horizon, depths, sequence, etc)

  • Dilution via user-defined substitutes (if required)

  • Generation of cumulated wash tables, with optional yield correction

  • Displaying and printing of wash curves

  • Multi-stage theoretical product beneficiation on RD, yield or quality criteria, using several interpolation formulae

  • Generation of standardised (regularised) wash tables for modelling

Reporting

and extracting

  • Customised scaled graphical reports for any paper size (eg plotters) for use for correlation and sign-offs

  • Displaying and printing of wash curves

  • Easy extraction to file in appropriate format for modelling applications (eg. Minex, Surpac, etc) or other third-party software

  • Support for ODBC direct connectivity
