Welcome to Mining Combustion Services!
We have national and international experience in combustion systems for mineral processing plants, and offer:
- Design
- Consulting
- Gas Audits
- Improved performance
- Fluid Bed and Dryer expertise
- Increased tonnage on rotary or fluid bed dryers
- Troubleshooting
Burners and fuel trains can be installed and commissioned but don’t always perform as the process requires. The burner may lack the ability to turndown, start reliably, or is unable to heat up the process within the time-frame or accuracy required. We can look at the burner’s performance and make changes to increase the reliability of the burner system, and meet your process requirements.
We specialise in combustion systems for Mineral Sands processing plants-
- Fluid Bed dryers or calciners
Many fluid bed dryers operate at a very conservative level, but with some fine tuning and in some cases modifications to the control system, we can increase the tonnage rate. On ilmenite driers, up to 100 % increase in production has been achieved.
Small modifications to the control system can allow the dryers to operate more efficiently at a lower tonnage rate. This gives considerable fuel cost savings and can be set up to automatically adjust to the required tonnage rate.
- Rotary Dryers and calciners
Most Rotary dryers operate at very low efficiency levels, many around only 30%. We can work with you to improve the dryer’s performance by increasing its ability to dry the mineral sands more efficiently, thereby lowering the operating temperature and producing a dryer product at a reduced fuel cost.
- Carbon regeneration kilns
We are able to redesign the system to suit the environment, which will increase both its reliability and % availability. We are also able to balance the temperature profile, giving a uniform heat profile across the kiln, and increase its ability to reactivate the carbon.
- Elution heaters
- Aggregate dryers
- Char processing plants

About
Although our business is located in Melbourne, we work on many mine sites around Western Australia.
I have previously worked as the combustion engineer for Pyrotherm and Svedala P/L, designing and commissioning combustion systems on mineral sands and processing plants around Asia and Australia.
With 21 years experience in combustion, and the last 13 years working in the mineral sands industry, I offer service as a consultant, perform audits, assist with upgrades for various mineral sands processing plants, commission and trouble-shoot. I can help you get your dryers working to their maximum capacity and reliability while you look after the rest of the business.
