W1–2

Providing a Representative Sample

The customer provides a bulk sample that accurately represents the full range of material properties, including size distribution, grade, moisture, and impurities. This sample serves as the starting point for all laboratory tests, process design, and performance guarantees.

Study of a Representative Sample for Beneficiability

GRAVICON performs laboratory and pilot-scale tests to evaluate separation efficiency, recovery, and product quality. The results define the technically and economically optimal processing route.

Preparation of Technical Requirements

GRAVICON prepares the technical requirements based on laboratory test results, project objectives, and site conditions. These requirements define target capacity, product quality, process configuration, and key design parameters for further engineering.

Preparation of Technical Assignments

GRAVICON develops a detailed technical assignment describing process flow, equipment configuration, automation level, and utility needs. This document becomes the core engineering reference for the project.

Coordination of Technical Specifications

All technical solutions are jointly reviewed and optimized by both parties. Final specifications are approved for performance, cost, and implementation schedule.

Conclusion of a Contract

Commercial, technical, and legal terms are finalized and contractually fixed. The project scope, responsibilities, guarantees, and timeline are formally confirmed.

Design and Engineering Work

GRAVICON performs full process, mechanical, electrical, and automation engineering. Layouts, foundation loads, piping, control logic, and interfaces are developed for manufacturing.

13 weeks

W25–38

Installation

The equipment is installed on site, positioned in its working locations, and connected to power, water, and control systems according to the approved layout.

Installation Supervision

GRAVICON specialists supervise the installation on site to ensure that all equipment is assembled and connected correctly and in accordance with the design documentation.

Adjustment

Process parameters, control loops, and mechanical settings are fine-tuned under load. The plant is brought to stable design capacity and product quality.

Staff Training

Operating and maintenance personnel are trained on process control, safety, and routine servicing. Training is performed on-site using real operating conditions.
