About Us

Industry recognised specialists in hydrometallurgy, with decades of experience, we provide all the testwork, process simulation, engineering and technical consulting you need to develop and prove your flowsheet, and advance your project.

 

Working With You to Get Your Process Right

Our company has been at the forefront of complex minerals and concentrate processing for decades.

Our world class team can help you with all your strategic minerals, battery metals, rare earths and PGM project needs. Simulus offers each part of the project development value chain in-house, offering metallurgical testwork at our own laboratory, through the study phases to final commissioning and ongoing support. From greenfield developments, brownfield reviews and upgrades, we work with a collaborative, engaged approach, with a focus on using the best available technology to achieve practical and economic outcomes.

What Our Clients Say

“Simulus have been working collaboratively with SRK as a principal processing associate on due diligence, ITRs, and other types of consulting work since 2007 and over the years would have supported hundreds of reviews. They are front of mind and one of our ‘go to’ providers of this support whenever it comes to metallurgy and processing.”

J.McKibben SRK Consulting Australasia

“Simulus was a key part in the early development of our high purity alumina (HPA) process, whether we needed specialist process simulation, testing, piloting, engineering study support or project management embedded in the Altech team, it was never a problem”.

Iggy Tan Altech Chemicals

"Simulus were able to support our flowsheet development including the laboratory and pilot plant programs for production of battery anode material from flake graphite. Sustained piloting to demonstrate removal of impurities from our graphite concentrate was a critical step in the development to commercial operations and the product drying through the Drytech flash dryer worked well."

Peter Barnes Lateral Solutions Engineering

“We have been working with Simulus for decades. Their hydrometallurgical expertise, and service offerings from early testwork, through process development and engineering design, along with their willingness to work with and involve us as the client, has been integral to the development of our proprietary and patented Hydromet technologies”.

We are invested in the right outcomes for you

What does it mean and is it material?

Our team cares about your testwork. We don’t just issue results, we tell you what they mean.

Is it material or practicable?

Is it worth chasing that extra recovery? Are those reagent costs excessive? Has it been done before or is it realistic to apply that to an operation? We love to help answer those types of questions.

Early identification and resolution of technical challenges

If there is a technical challenge, it is a bit late telling the client at the end. We are nimble, flexible and collaborative and help resolve technical challenges during our programs, not at the end when it is too late!

Are you going down the wrong path?

We have extensive experience across a range of minerals and concentrates, process flowsheets, and reagents. If we think you should be considering alternative options, we will tell you!
