Cement Analysis, Coal Analysis, and Element Analysis in Minerals

Keep coal, cement, or mineral processing operations running efficiently, safely, and profitably. Thermo Scientific portable and lab-based instruments can perform cement analysis, coal analysis, and elemental analysis of minerals, and more. Our online analyzers, air quality monitors, radiation detectors, and bulk weighing, monitoring and sampling equipment support services, help ensure cement and coal quality, help create uniform sinter, improve mineral processing and recovery, and help achieve safer and cleaner plants, lower costs, and environmental compliance. From the quarry to the finished products, we understand your process and offer products and services that suit your applications.

Mining and mineral processing

Improve quality and efficiency in mining with integrated analysis and sampling systems. Thermo Scientific instruments for mineral processing supply reliable process data, improve recovery, lower costs, and help meet environmental compliance.

Copper and base metals

Improve recovery, lower costs, and achieve environmental compliance in your copper, nickel, lead, or zinc plant with the help of Thermo Scientific samplers, analyzers, and bulk material handling solutions.

Portable analytical instruments for mining and exploration

Obtain rapid geochemical analysis that will help increase discovery success rates so you can identify drill targets quickly, make on-site decisions about whether to stop or continue drilling, and decide where to focus on the grid.

Cement production

From raw material analysis and cement product quality control to clinker control, coal power management, plant profitability, regulatory compliance, and safer, cleaner plants, we understand your cement production process and offer products that suit your applications.

Elemental analysis for material identification and quality control

Our portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers are the standard for non-destructive elemental analysis and material identification in the field. Our laboratory-based XRF systems can evaluate all kinds of materials and sample types for qualitative and quantitative analysis and process and quality control.

Chemical analysis for geological materials

Our X-ray diffraction (XRD) instruments quickly determine the mineralogy and phase composition of geological materials. Both XRF and XRD can perform chemical analysis to help identify and quantify toxic or undesirable elements or compounds which can adversely affect the final product or the environment. 

Coal analysis and coal quality monitoring

From the mine through the preparation plant, we offer a variety of products for measuring tonnages, determining coal quality, helping ensure personnel safety, and meeting emission regulations. 

Coal-fired power generation

Optimize processes, save costs, and achieve cleaner gas emission with the help of our real-time coal quality analyzers. Our instruments can provide continuous gas monitoring from boiler to stack for coal-fired power plant operation. 

Air quality monitoring for mining operations

Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS) help mining operations monitor toxic gases and comply with environmental standards. Our personal dust monitors help ensure the shift-average respirable dust exposure does not exceed regulatory limits. 

Iron ore sintering process in steel manufacturing

Achieve uniform sinter quality at low operational costs with advanced systems and equipment, particularly for measuring and controlling sintering process fluctuations, inhomogeneous mixtures, and other parameters. 

Radiation detection and monitoring in mining

Our personal radiation detectors alert workers to potential radiation exposure at greater distances so they can respond quickly and decisively to real radiation threats. Our dosimeters monitor radiation exposure over time.

Bulk weighing, monitoring and sampling

We offer a wide selection of proactive, proven service options for bulk material handling systems. With our service team as your partner, you will have access to a global network of technical support experts, factory-certified engineers, consultants, and industry professionals to help realize high-uptime solutions.
