User manual — Mining Flow

Mining Flow draws flowsheets of mineral processing plants and calculates the mass and water balance of every stream. Optionally, it tracks particle size distribution and grades, produces the PDF drawing with title block and the pump list with a power estimate.

This manual describes what each feature does, when to use it, what you enter and what the program returns.

Conventions in this manual

  • Bold marks a button, menu or field exactly as it appears on screen.
  • "Project ▾ → Export PDF…" means: open the Project menu and choose Export PDF….
  • Shortcuts are written for Windows (Ctrl). On a Mac, use Cmd instead of Ctrl.
  • Numbers use a decimal point ("39.2 %").
  • Balance units: solids in t/h, water in m³/h, slurry in t/h and m³/h, densities in t/m³, sizes in µm or mm.
