Full mechanization and automation of the tankhouse improve overall productivity. Our automation solution can control all the electrode handling equipment or just a single machine. An additional option is individual electrode tracking, which integrates the whole plant. You can fully trace and monitor the production and carry out proactive electrode maintenance. In addition, you can optimize the process parameters to match the prevailing conditions, such as the composition of the anodes. The plating process in each cell and section can be monitored. With Outotec's automation solutions, the whole process can be automated up to unmanned operation in the cell aisles.
Outotec CellSense™ – a real-time eye on copper refinery
The economics of the refinery can be improved significantly with increased current efficiency and capacity. This is achieved by focusing the process maintenance and control tasks on critical sections of the process indicated by the CellSense™ system. The ability to identify and react rapidly to condition changes at refineries is economically vital. The changes are highly energy-intensive and prone to long lasting disturbances that cause production losses and quality problems.
The CellSense™ monitoring system provides a proficient real-time window for systematic and efficient refinery performance monitoring and state indication. CellSense™ creates continuous and distilled real-time information based on a vast amount of standard tankhouse measurement data. |

Outotec’s cell cleaning system enables cleaning electrolytic cells while the cell is in operation. | The CellSense™ also enables easy monitoring, disturbance identification and support for daily control decisions. The distilled real-time status information is easily accessible and usable through the web-based user interface. Exploring the state of the refinery is straightforward and can be customized to fulfill the demands of different user groups.
