Join the Hunter Region Branch for their 13th Annual Jameson Distinguished Lecture - Tilting the Curve: The Mavrik Step Change in Classification That Unlocks Operating Value

About this event

The annual Jameson Lecture is one of the most highly anticipated and important events on the Hunter Region Branch’s calendar.

A celebration of the region’s rich mineral processing heritage, the lecture is named in honour of Professor Graeme Jameson, inventor of the Jameson Cell, who lives locally and remains proudly associated with the lecture series.
 
This year, the Lecture will be presented by Paul Revell, who will describe the design of a new inverted hydrocyclone cluster, built by his OEM partner and successfully installed and commissioned at an existing processing plant in Latin America.He will describe the processes, challenges, limitations and some of the results.  He is keenly focussed on how to reduce energy usage and water intensity for clients who are on the pathway to Net Zero. 
 

The talk will outline the fluid dynamics that make semi-inverted classification possible, the proprietary engineering required to stabilise cyclone operation at inclined angles, and the resulting performance signature — a hydrocyclone that classifies with the sharpness of a wet screen at the throughput capacity of a conventional hydrocyclone.

The lecture will close with examples of a de-risking and opportunity assessment pathway from simulation and ore-specific verification through to full-scale, no-downtime installation that operators can use to evaluate and capture this opportunity in their own circuits.

Program:
6.00pm – Networking and drinks
6.30pm – Lecture commences
7.15pm – Networking, drinks and canapés served
8.30pm – Event close

Speaker/s

Paul Revell

Executive Consulting Processing Engineer
In 2021 Paul Revell founded Net Zero Mining, with the aim of developing novel mineral processing technologies that provide step-change reductions in energy and water intensity, to offer mining companies pathways to achieve their Net Zero commitments.

The focus is novel comminution and classification technologies, with the signature technology being a high efficiency hydrocyclone.

Paul’s ambition is to make a difference by doing good science and delivering results.
