Commissioning software for concentrators where the grinding circuit, flotation bank and thickener train all have to run together before the first tonne of concentrate ships.

A SAG mill supplier commissions the mill and its lube system. A flotation equipment vendor commissions the cell banks and air supply. A thickener OEM proves rake torque and underflow density. Each vendor signs off its own scope and leaves, often before the circuits have ever run together on real ore.

When metallurgical performance data lives in separate lab sheets and separate vendor punch lists, the process engineer cannot answer the question that actually matters at the ramp-up review: is recovery tracking toward design, and if not, which circuit is the constraint.

Deskely puts every mill, cell, thickener and filter in one register with one status model, so plant readiness and metallurgical ramp-up are read from the same source instead of reconciled from five different spreadsheets.

Water commissioning proves pumps, pipework and instrumentation hold pressure and flow before a tonne of ore is fed; ore commissioning then proves throughput, power draw, grind size and cell froth stability against the process design criteria as feed rate climbs toward nameplate.

Flotation cell functional testing — froth depth control, air rate, reagent addition rate — is recorded per cell and per bank, with recovery and grade sampled and logged against the same commissioning window so a metallurgical shortfall can be traced back to a specific cell rather than blamed on the ore body.

Open findings from wet commissioning stay attached to the asset with an owner, so a thickener with erratic underflow density is not carried as closed simply because it ran for one shift without alarming.

A concentrator's distributed control system carries thousands of control loops and cause-and-effect interlocks linking mill feed, cyclone overflow, flotation air supply and thickener rake torque, and a single mis-mapped interlock — a mill overload that fails to trip the correct feed conveyor rather than an unrelated one — is invisible until the exact upset condition occurs on real ore.

Loop tuning against process design criteria is usually done by the DCS vendor's commissioning engineer working from a cause-and-effect matrix that the plant's own process team rarely sees in full, so when a trip behaves unexpectedly during ramp-up, nobody can quickly confirm whether the logic was ever actually tested against that matrix line.

Deskely tracks every interlock and control loop against its cause-and-effect matrix reference as a signed functional test, so a mill trip or an unplanned circuit shutdown during ramp-up can be checked against a proven test record in minutes instead of triggering a re-verification of the whole control philosophy.
