METSIM, the premier process modelling software, is capable of accurately simulating a wide variety of processes
for inorganic chemicals, comminution, hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy, alternative energy, water and
environmentally sensitive processes. Process designers benefit greatly from using the many tools that METSIM
possesses. Over 620 companies and universities in 55 countries have purchased METSIM licenses for the design,
simulation, and operation of complex heap leaching systems, metallurgical plants, tailings ponds, fertilizer plants,
and environmental processes, etc. The long list continues to grow daily.

METSIM has the following modules: Base, Comminution, Heat Balance, Dynamic Simulation, Mine, Contouring,
Engineering, and Costing. Development and expansion of all modules within METSIM is ongoing, ensuring
availability of new and innovative tools and features.

The Base Module includes chemical, beneficiation and hydrometallurgical unit operations to simulate magnetic
separation, flotation, leaching, solid/liquid separation, solvent extraction, electrowinning, and numerous other
equipment such as tanks, pumps, bins, stockpiles, etc.

The Comminution Module includes unit operations for crushing, screening, grinding, classification, gravity
separation, dense media, and coal preparation. This module is used when liberation and particle size analyses are
critical in the process.

The Heat Balance Module includes models for autoclaves, dryers, kilns, furnaces, boilers, and steam and gas
handling equipment. METSIM’s extensive thermodynamic component database is also included with this module
and tools are available allowing users to add or create their own component data.

The Dynamic Simulation Module focuses on time dependent models such as heap leaching, mining
(geometallurgy) solar energy/weather effects, and tailings ponds or processes where there is a large variation in
plant feed and/or operating conditions.

The Mine Module allows import of drill-hole data, the mine block model and the mining sequence in order to
dynamically track feed rates and compositions to waste dumps, heaps, stockpiles and the. This allows dynamic
simulation over the life of the mine from ore source to production (dynamic geometallurgy).

The Contouring Module is used for building complex heap leach stockpiles, waste stockpiles, and tailings facility
models from DXF contour files and for displaying data graphically.

The Engineering Module allows any process engineer to easily perform preliminary design calculations, size
equipment, generate equipment and instrumentation lists, simulate and test process control strategies, and build
operator training interfaces.

The Costing Module calculates and reports plant operating costs. It also includes OPCOST, a capital and operating
cost program for mining, which calculates manpower, fuel and supplies, and generates equipment purchase and
replacement schedules. This module does not calculate plant capital cost.

Features:
• Fully graphical interface for building models and printing flowsheets
• Currently 223 unit operations
• DDE, Dynamic Data Exchange, for easy interfacing to Excel, InTouch, PID controllers, etc.
• DXF file input and output for interfacing to AutoCad and other graphic programs
• Option to display, on the flowsheet, variables such as temperature, pH, assays for rapid debugging
