Mining IIoT webinar this week will emphasize IIoW
We hope you will join us on Wednesday to discuss IIoT and Remote O&M in mining.
Many flow and treat companies have IIoT products. Companies such as Eaton,
Evoqua, Grundfos, and Emerson have a huge reservoir of mining knowledge.
IIoW will provide the intercommunication opportunities to truly take
advantage of the synergy potential in multi divisional companies.
At the most basic there is the communication between Eaton wireless and
Eaton Filtration to maximize the value of remote filter health monitoring. The
highest-level knowledge about every large mining operation (technology, sales
opportunities, contacts) is shared by a bottoms up IIoW system. To register for

A Howden mine ventilation fan generates lifetime revenues of X.
The Howden
SmartEXECTM system with software, monitoring and remote control of fan
operations generates a lifetime revenue of 10X.
The potential of IIoT is so large that anyone evaluating the pump, valve,
filter, separator, scrubber or other flow and treat opportunities will want to
consider the combined equipment and
IIoT potential If you subscribe to

Big growth for U.S. oil and gas flow and treat.
U.S. oil and gas production is surging.
The U.S. can produce oil from shale and break even at $20/barrel.
At $3/mm btu shale gas is a profit generator. With the expansion of LNG
export terminals, the U.S. LNG exports will be significant.
The flow and treat equipment and service revenue per barrel of tight oil
is far greater than for conventional oil.
Shale derived gas flow and treat revenues are an order of magnitude
greater than that generated by conventional extraction.
Part of the lower cost of is the improvement in flow and treat equipment and
services. Pump and valve
improvements have been significant.
Purification and reuse of fracking water is now more cost effective thanks to
the use of filter presses by Evoqua to cleanup the water initially used to
purify the frac sand and then cleanup of the frac flow back after use.

The Mining IIoT and Remote O&M Outlay in 2017 will be $11 billion rising to $56
billion by 2030
Mining companies now spend $25 billion for treatment chemicals. Twenty
percent of these expenditures are in reality purchases of knowledge from the
chemicals suppliers. This revenue from the Industrial Internet of Wisdom is
considered to be part of the IIoT and Remote O&M opportunity.
The mining industry is looking to IIoT and remote O&M for safety improvements.
Manual measurements of oxygen and hazardous gases will give way to highly
automated systems which also control ventilation fans to minimize energy
consumption while maintaining safe levels of hazardous gases.
Monitoring and control of the tailings storage minimizes the risk of a breach.
The grinding and flotation circuits for some plants are monitored by FLSmidth
from a remote monitoring center in Denmark. They have also introduced a
gain sharing program. A bonus is paid when costs are below the targeted level.
Companies such as Andritz, Evoqua and Xylem have a unique opportunity to
leverage the technology of multiple divisions to focus on mining. Evoqua has
hundreds of relevant products.
Xylem and Andritz have at least dozens. Xylem has the further advantage of
extensive acquisitions of companies making monitors and sensors.
The challenge and the opportunity of IIoT is to interconnect all these
technologies for synergistic operation of each.
The better the sensors the better the potential for synergistic
operation.
The Industrial Internet of Wisdom (IIoW) will empower mining IIoT for maximum
benefit. This is easier said than
done. When the valve starts to leak, the solution may be obvious but a
comprehensive interconnection system to all the niche experts is needed.
For the most challenging problems there may only be a handful of people
to provide an immediate answer. If
they can be utilized it may save lots of time and expense.
