LM supports real operating and project problems — from targeted troubleshooting and testwork interpretation through commissioning, optimisation and process-engineering work packages.

01 / OPERATIONS

Plant optimisation & troubleshooting

Structured investigation of throughput, recovery, stability, consumables and operating constraints using plant evidence and metallurgical fundamentals.

  • Performance diagnostics & debottlenecking
  • Metallurgical accounting & data review
  • Site surveys & optimisation campaigns
02 / PROJECTS

Metallurgical & process engineering

Practical process support for studies, design interfaces, flowsheet development, testwork, operating philosophies and technical decisions.

  • Flowsheet & testwork review
  • Control philosophies & process documentation
  • EPC/EPCM and owner-team technical support
03 / DELIVERY

Commissioning & operational support

Site-facing metallurgical support through commissioning, ramp-up, stabilisation and improvement programs.

  • Commissioning & ramp-up support
  • Operational readiness & troubleshooting
  • Targeted on-site technical assistance
Liberate Process Intelligence™

Start with the plant symptom.

LM's engineering intelligence modules turn operating questions into structured preliminary assessments — highlighting opportunity signals, evidence gaps and the validation required before site implementation.

How LM works

Diagnose before you sell.

Start with the operating or project problem. Establish the evidence. Define the engineering pathway. Then decide what work, trial, equipment or consumable actually makes sense.
