Services · Operations Advisory
Ramp up faster. Recover more. Spend less.
Process audits, debottlenecking programmes, SOP overhauls, remote monitoring, and compliance watch for running plants. Every engagement is tied to a quantified ₹ / kg / hour / MWh outcome — we measure the impact in the same currency as the P&L.
What we deliver
Seven engagement types — buy one, bundle several, or retain us as a fractional metallurgist.
Process audit
Single-visit or ongoing. Plant walkthrough, mass-balance reconciliation, actual-vs-design gap analysis, opportunity register with quantified ₹ impact.
Yield & recovery optimisation
Root-cause analysis of recovery losses (reagent, residence time, entrainment, circulating loads). Test-plan to close gap between actual and design recovery.
Debottlenecking
Identify and resolve hydraulic, chemical, mechanical, or control-system bottlenecks. Typical clients see 15–40% throughput uplift without capital expansion.
SOP development & training
Unit-operation SOPs, startup / shutdown / emergency procedures, shift handover protocols. Classroom + on-the-job operator training with competency sign-off.
Remote monitoring dashboards
Deploy AutoREX™ tags + dashboards for KPIs, exceptions, and predictive alerts. We can run the dashboards on your behalf as a managed service.
Compliance & regulatory watch
CPCB / SPCB / DGFT / BIS updates, EPR registration support, consent-to-operate renewals, emission / effluent compliance reviews. Monthly briefing.
How an engagement runs
Typical audit-to-implementation cycle. Retainers compress this into an ongoing cadence.
Day-1 diagnostic
Plant walkthrough, data-room access, operator interviews, initial hypotheses.
Gap analysis
Benchmark actual vs design, quantify every loss stream, build prioritised opportunity register.
Deep-dive testing
In-situ trials, lab testwork on plant samples, root-cause validation, recommendation package.
Implementation
On-site support during changes, SOP updates, operator coaching, result validation, financial impact measurement.
Deliverables you keep
- Diagnostic report — findings + prioritised recommendations
- Financial impact model (₹ saved / earned per recommendation)
- Updated SOPs + operator checklists
