Dempo Metallurgical Research
and Development Centre (DMRDC) develops process
flow sheets based on laboratory and pilot plant experiments
on crude ore samples. Plant design and operations over
the years have confirmed the capabilities of DMRDC
Fully
equipped laboratory and pilot plant to test and develop
process flow sheets
Main
Objectives:
To derive requisite
data by laboratory and Pilot Plant scale experiments
on ore samples from the Dempo mines.
To carry out investigation
of bore holes to find its characteristics.
To generate design
parameters for the beneficiation of new ore bodies.
To
evaluate the performance of the existing plant
and suggest ideas for improvement.
Research
and Design since 1981 Maintains Dempo’s leadership
in processed ore industry
Major
Achievements:
1983-85: Developed new techniques for beneficiation
and upgrading the hitherto low grade iron ore to buyer’s specification. Beneficiation
Plants set up.
1996:
Developed a unique process to convert
very low Fe Magnetite Ore to high Fe,
low phosphorus sinter feed concentrates.
Pilot plants established in 1998.
2003: Process to increase the iron content by as much
as 10% and convert rejects into saleable ore.
2004:
Process developed to reduce the Alumina
substantially.
