Process Optimization
Flotation and milling optimization, mass balance analysis and plant performance improvement using both classical engineering and AI-assisted analytics.
Engineering, automation and reagent supply for mining — specialised in coal and PGM processing. We design flotation vision systems, deliver reagents and build digital tools that drive performance.
SNOCS Group combines metallurgical know-how with modern automation and sensing technologies. Our team — experienced in flotation, process control and instrumentation — focuses on improving recovery, reducing reagent consumption and supporting sustainable operations.
Based in Mpumalanga (Witbank) with regional projects in Joburg and surrounding industrial zones.
Coal, PGM flotation, mineral processing, environmental water treatment and tailings management.
Flotation and milling optimization, mass balance analysis and plant performance improvement using both classical engineering and AI-assisted analytics.
Control strategies, SCADA/APC integration, predictive maintenance and sensor networks for continuous plant monitoring.
Continuous camera-based monitoring of froth bubble size, froth mobility and colour with ML-assisted alerts and integration to APC systems.
Supplying collectors, frothers, depressants and pH modifiers tailored for coal and PGM flotation. We offer product selection, dosing strategies and supply chain management with trusted chemical partners.
Water treatment, tailings optimisation and waste minimisation solutions that lower environmental footprint and improve resource recovery.
Metallurgical flowsheet design, feasibility studies, nitrogen flotation trials and development of Excel add-ins and digital tools to speed engineering calculations.
We build practical engineering tools: an Excel flowsheet add-in for mass balances, a flotation vision camera unit for continuous monitoring, and dashboards that turn sensor data into actionable insights. We prototype using Python for data pipelines, Java/JavaEE for backend services, and React for frontend dashboards.
Custom formulas and shapes for flowsheeting, helping engineers quickly iterate mass balances and equipment sizing.
Real-time dashboards, KPI alerts and historical trend analysis to support operational decisions.
Example projects include nitrogen flotation trials for PGMs, pilot flotation vision system installations, reagent campaigns to reduce collector consumption, and APC integrations for continuous operation.
Reduced oxidation, improved selectivity and increased concentrate grade in controlled trials.
Optimised dosing and supply logistics for a coal processing plant, resulting in lower operating costs and stable reagent performance.
