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.

STEP 11 day on-site

Day-1 diagnostic

Plant walkthrough, data-room access, operator interviews, initial hypotheses.

STEP 21–2 weeks

Gap analysis

Benchmark actual vs design, quantify every loss stream, build prioritised opportunity register.

STEP 32–4 weeks

Deep-dive testing

In-situ trials, lab testwork on plant samples, root-cause validation, recommendation package.

STEP 44–12 weeks

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
  • Training curriculum + competency assessments
  • Dashboard setup (KPIs, exceptions, alerting rules)
  • Quarterly compliance snapshot (for retainer clients)
  • Quarterly benchmark vs industry peer set

Typical outcomes

  • 15–40%throughput uplift from debottlenecking — no capex
  • 3–8%recovery improvement on mature plants
  • ₹ / MTreagent cost reduced 10–20% via dosing optimisation
  • 2–4×faster ramp-up vs unassisted commissioning
  • < 2%unplanned-downtime after SOP + training rollout

Engagement models

Single audit

Best when

You want a one-time outside-in review with clear recommendations

Format
