Glencore Technology and XPS deliver comprehensive Jameson Cell test work across North America
Brisbane, Australia
For immediate release
In partnership with XPS, Glencore Technology has expanded its capacity to provide comprehensive Jameson Cell testwork services across North America.
Based in Falconbridge, Ontario, XPS is a multidisciplinary team of mineral resource professionals offering expertise across operations, consulting, projects, piloting, and laboratory services. With state-of-the-art laboratories, XPS provides integrated, one-stop solutions that enhance operational performance through both in-lab testing and on-site project support.
Leveraging their mineralogical expertise and their role as the logistical hub for Jameson Cell test rigs across North America, XPS offers the region’s most comprehensive access to Glencore Technology flotation testing. Vice President Jan Smit said this capability enables customers to complete every stage of testwork through a single provider:
“What makes XPS unique is our ability to deliver a full Jameson Cell testwork program right here in North America,” said Jan Smit, Vice President of XPS. “From small lab-scale testing to full pilot-scale trials with the Z500 rig, we combine technical execution with mineralogical analysis to demonstrate real performance. Customers can directly compare the Jameson Cell to conventional flotation, supported by our team from setup through to commissioning.”
The benefits speak for themselves: a real-time demonstration of how the Jameson Cell can outperform its competitors.
Part of the Jameson Cell’s value lies in the accuracy of its testwork and scale-up, which are essential for optimal plant performance. The hydrodynamic conditions in the downcomer and tank are identical across laboratory, pilot, and full-scale Jameson Cells. In other words, scale-up is direct and proven, and using Jameson Cell technology in the flowsheet reduces project risk.
Going forward, this continued partnership between Glencore Technology and XPS makes it simpler than ever for North American operations to test, validate, and implement Jameson Cell technology with confidence.
