MSA-330 Multi-Stream Slurry XRF Analyzer

The Thermo Scientific™ MSA-330 Multi-Stream Slurry XRF Analyzer provides reliable, flexible, cost-effective elemental analysis for up to 12 slurry streams, delivering information for the monitoring and control (manual or automatic) of mineral beneficiation circuits. Keeping each stream in a separate analysis zone, it eliminates cross-contamination without any need for a multiplexer or demultiplexer, minimizing head loss and plant elevation requirements. Use the MSA-330 to monitor feed, concentrate and tailings grades, to drive up process efficiency, improve metal recovery, optimize reagent consumption, and reduce costs.

The MSA-330 quantifies % solids and up to 20 elements for between 3 and 12 slurry streams according to a predefined schedule to deliver real-time process trend information for monitoring and control. Key features include:

• Capability to measure and provide composite samples for 3 to 12 slurry streams, for flexible, cost-efficient process monitoring.
• Dedicated, separate path for each process stream, from sample point to sample discharge, for the elimination of cross-contamination and simplified sample return.
• Low head design simplifies sample transport design and is advantageous for gravity feed or return of samples to the process.
• Advanced energy dispersive X-ray detector, for accurate measurement from calcium to uranium with integrated Peltier cooler for reliable, trouble-free operation over a wide range of in-plant environmental conditions.
• Cross-cut sampler for each stream provides sampling for analyser calibration and composite samples.
• Optional vacuum filter station available for the each of the composite samplers.
• When fed from a he SamStat30C instead of a pressure pipe or gravity sampler the dedicated cross-scut samplers in the MSA-330 can be used to acquire composite sample for material balancing and accounting purposes.
• No multiplexer or de-multiplexer delivers a flow head space solution lowering implementation and operational costs for a centralized analyser system.
• High flow capability, for handling the full flow of low flowrate process streams, eliminating additional costs associated with a sampler and sample delivery system. 300mm wide tank as standard with larger sizes available, for higher flow rates.
