HISTORY

The MetPlant Conference has a long and proud history.

The 2023 event was successfully held in Adelaide for the first time. It was the eleventh in the series of conferences showcasing Metallurgical Plant Design and Operating Strategies, presenting a current update of advances in metallurgical processing and plant design. 

Following the success of 2023, we will return to Adelaide for the next event and continue with the theme of ‘World’s Best Practice’ that has been adopted since the beginning of the MetPlant series in 2002. 

Optimisation, improving efficiencies and innovation in design and operational strategies will undoubtedly continue to be popular themes. 

As the need to continually demonstrate the highest commitment to ESG, the cost of water, energy and other consumables will continue to increase and become more challenging so we expect many of the future papers to explore these crucial matters as the industry aims to optimise plant performance.

The next event will be another outstanding conference that will convey a snapshot of world’s best practice, and will be one which will have ongoing relevance to the future industry and bring value to those professionals engaged in the design, specification and operation of metallurgical plants.
