Secuence of LESDE Plant
LESDE Plant Solvent Extraction Tank Farm
1995 Plant Start Production Capacity 35,141 TM of Copper Cathodes per year.
1999 First Expansion Production Capacity Expansion to 56,000 TM of copper cathodes per year.
Second Expansion Income of Northwest leachable deposits and establishment of data storage
2001
plant
Communication Network:
Protocol: Data Highway Plus (DH+)
Way: Multimode Optical Fiber 8 threads
Configuration: dual ring redundant
Division of DH+ network into two rings, 10 PLCs in plant, and 13 PLCs in pumping stations and
others.
Integration of PLCs from solvent extraction, tank farm and acid dosage to Administrative LAN
Ethernet network, improve control loops response.
Change of control room PCs to Kayak - Hewlett Packard high performance Workstations
(Pentium III, HDD 8GB)
Control System- 1999
Second Expansion - Income of Northwest Leacheable
Deposits and Establishment of Data Storage Plant -2001
Installation of 5 Foxboro DCS for Raff and PLS pumping systems to Northwest
leachable deposits.
