Operations and metallurgical teams in copper refineries know the daily challenges: maintaining cathode quality, managing energy use, and keeping the plant running safely, all while under pressure to improve performance.
Mipac’s advanced tankhouse instrumentation helps tackle these challenges with precision-engineered tools built specifically for electrorefining and electrowinning.
ShortMeter® — Hand-held short circuit locator
ShortMeter® simplifies the detection of shorts and dead plates in copper electrorefining. Using magnetic field sensing, it enables operators to rapidly identify problem areas that would otherwise erode current efficiency and production quality.
Key features:
- Hand-held, lightweight design for extended use in harsh tankhouse environments
- Visual LED display showing the severity and exact location of shorts
- Adjustable calibration for consistent detection across teams
- Cost-effective alternative to infrared cameras, with minimal maintenance
Why it matters:
Quick detection improves safety, boosts current efficiency, and reduces scrap rates.
CellView® — Wireless cell voltage monitoring
CellView® gives teams continuous, real-time insights into cell performance across the entire tankhouse. By monitoring voltage and optionally temperature, it enables smarter, faster interventions to keep the process running optimally.
Key features:
- Wireless, scalable system easily installed across hundreds of cells
- Continuous voltage monitoring with long battery life (5–10 years)
- Customisable operator interface for live and historical data analysis
- Seamless integration with plant systems and data historians
Why it matters:
Early fault detection reduces downtime, cuts operational costs, and maximises current efficiency.
Copper Monitor® — Automated copper concentration control
Copper Monitor® automates the measurement of copper levels in electrolyte, eliminating the need for manual sampling and helping operators maintain tighter process control.
Key features:
- Continuous online measurement using optical analysers
- Automatic self-cleaning and calibration for low maintenance
- Integration with control systems for automated process adjustments
- Rugged, weatherproof design built for corrosive environments
Why it matters:
Stable copper concentrations enhance product quality, improve safety, and lower operational costs.
