Arkady Senchenko, General Director of TOMS institute, is responsible for driving the sponsorship of CEEC International Ltd.
“TOMS institute is glad to provide assistance and collaborate with CEEC. Nowadays energy efficiency in the mining industry is very important. It is relevant both for greenfield and brownfield projects in which our company is engaged.
TOMS institute uses state-of-art equipment, methods of testing and modelling programs for crushing and grinding circuits. Our main clients are the biggest mining companies of Russia and CIS. In this regard it is very important for TOMS Institute to contribute to the improvement of energy efficiency in mining and apply the most innovative process solutions” said Arkady Senchenko.
About CEEC: CEEC is a not-for-profit global company whose mission is to accelerate knowledge transfer in the field of energy-efficient comminution (crushing and grinding). CEEC aims to raise awareness of beneficial alternative comminution strategies with the objective of improving earnings, achieving lower processing costs and gaining energy productivity in the mining sector.
CEEC is the acronym for the Coalition for Energy Efficient Comminution. CEEC was established by a visionary group of mining industry leaders, who recognized the need to provide a platform for effective communication of the latest technical findings on efficient comminution practices.
Extensive research and improved engineering design has established that a range of improved blasting, crushing, sorting and grinding techniques may lower project costs. These include relatively straight forward strategies such as removing waste material before size reduction, a better combination of grinding technologies and targeting larger grind sizes where mineralogy allows.
CEEC is funded wholly by industry sponsorship from Anglo American, Barrick Gold, IMARC, CITIC-HIC, Antofagasta Minerals, Oz Minerals, Gekko Systems, Ausenco, Glencore Technology, Outotec, Orica, New Gold Inc, Derrick Corporation, Metso, AMIRA International, MMG, Weir Minerals, Multotec Ltd and FLSmidth.
