The Caspeo services
Improve your process using the Caspeo expertise.
The main service provided by Caspeo is Material Balance Engineering.
Widely, Caspeo offers services in Process Analysis for industries manipulating complex, divided, heterogeneous and variable solids.
Giving importance to the collaboration with the production team, Caspeo remains in touch with the field and adapts the solutions to each case. Caspeo does the technology transfer through training.
In the processing industries, a good balance of the manipulated, transported and processed material gives a more accurate picture of the process operation.
The balance is based on different types of process measurements. These measurements are often obtained through sampling the material.
The data reconciliation technique by statistically coherent material balance, improves the quality and the range of the measurement.
The predictive material balance using modeling and numerical simulation is an efficient tool for process design and optimization.
Process analysis is a subset of process engineering.
It can be used at each stage of the process life cycle: from R&D to dismantling and site decontamination, including tests (laboratory and pilot), technical and economical feasibility studies, environmental impact assessment, engineering, building, commissioning, automation, production control, optimization and adaptation, waste treatment and elimination, plant stop.
It includes techniques allowing to observe and understand a process with the intention of predicting and improving its industrial configuration taking into account multiple parameters (technical, economical, environmental, social).
The Caspeo team carries out studies implementing these techniques and using process modeling and simulation tools.
The observation passes through the material characterization and the measurement on a sample. There is then the sampling problem (ECHANT) and the measurement validation using data reconciliation by material balance (BILCO).
The understanding necessitates the modeling of the unit operation and the whole process (USIM PAC as modeling platform).
The process operation prediction and improvement are made with the aid of numerical simulation (USIM PAC as simulation and optimization tool).
The founders of Caspeo settled their know-how in the mineral industry: base metals, precious and semi-precious metals, industrial minerals (kaolin, talc, mica, carbonate, etc.), building materials (sand and gravel, cement, plaster), gems...
But these techniques can be applied to other industries processing the same types of solid and liquid materials, complex, heterogeneous and variable. We can cite: food industry, pharmaceutical industry, cosmetics industry, chemical industry, waste industry...
