Mining’s old guard needs strong medicine
A new report details subpar investor returns in the mining industry over the last decade, particularly big cap diversified companies which have not adapted to new realities.
ADELAIDE, South Australia (October 30, 2012) – Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, today announced the new Thermo Scientific GS Omni analyzer, a third-generation prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) analyzer that has a distinct advantage over x-ray fluorescence analyzers because it measures both heavy elements and elements lighter than calcium in slurry streams.

The GS Omni analyzer is a new addition to the Thermo Scientific line of analyzers. It provides accurate, real-time elemental analysis of multiple slurry streams to allow for optimization of beneficiation processes. It is the only slurry analyzer using the PGNAA technique, and its design benefits from Thermo Fisher’s unparalleled experience in cross-belt analysis.
“The market has been asking for an analyzer that eliminates LN2, is factory-calibrated for faster start-up and shares similar building blocks to the CB Omni,” said Tim Sennett, global sales and marketing manager, Thermo Fisher. “The GS Omni analyzer is the answer.”
The GS Omni analyzer can monitor final-product impurity levels and control slurry impurity levels throughout a plant. It can also be used in flotation plants for the direct measurement of elements, and it will be available in configurations of one to eight streams. The optimum number of streams will vary depending on application stream concentrations and plant layout.
