We have been accepted into BHP's Comminution Open Call Challenge as a finalist. This challenge seeks innovators with ideas to enhance mineral extraction processes by reducing energy consumption or increasing throughput in rock comminution. We will collaborate with BHP to explore the potential of High-Pressure Slurry Ablation (HPSA) as a comminution technology. The study will not only assess the applicability of HPSA at BHP assets but will also explore other niche applications across the value chain to maximize value addition. This is an exciting opportunity for Disa to work on a project that has the potential to make a significant impact in the industry. #Comminution #BHP #Mining #Innovation
