The author would like to acknowledge the contribution of lecturers and classmates in the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering. Great appreciation goes to my Supervisor Eng.W.M Goriwondo who helped me through the project. The author wishes also to express her sincere gratitude to Marange Resources team for its support. Author’s family also provided material and spiritual support that helped her through life. Finally, the acknowledgement is due to the Almighty who has blessed the author with the knowledge, required for doing this project. ABSTRACT
During diamond recovery process, Ferrosilicon density control is very crucial. It determines the end product quality. Density of Ferrosilicon should be kept high (2.45-2.65 SG) so that there will be less fraction of unwanted material on the end products and high percentage of diamond. The project highlights the aims, objectives, and background related to the design of the design of a density control system and optimisation system of Ferrosilicon on a Dense Medium Separation (DMS) plant. Literature review included an in-depth look into dense medium separation (DMS) plant process, Ferrosilicon density control, Ferrosilicon recovery system and Genetic Algorithm. The various concepts for the density control system were developed. Each presented and its associated advantages and disadvantages in case of implementation. The best control concept selected uses the programmable logic controller (PLC). The sections to form
