About OPS Process Solutions

Experience where project decisions become operating reality.

Trevor Bilney brings more than 30 years of mining industry experience across metallurgy, process engineering, laboratory management, production improvement and risk management. OPS Process Solutions works with project owners and operating teams from study decisions through commissioning and early operation.

The approach starts with the risks that matter on site: test the assumptions, use the available evidence, agree on practical actions and support the team as changes are put into operation.

  • Independent review of processing choices and operating assumptions.
  • Testwork and improvement programs tied to decisions and performance.
  • Commissioning, safe work systems and operational readiness support.

How OPS can help

Support from study phase to stable production.

Independent advice and practical support for the decisions, systems and plant issues that shape operating performance.

01

Mineral Processing and Refining

Identify constraints in flowsheets, equipment and operating practices, then prioritise changes that improve throughput, recovery and reliability.

02

Production Improvement Programs

Use plant data and team insight to isolate losses, test options and put workable improvements into day-to-day operation.

03

Laboratory and Pilot Plant Testwork

Shape laboratory and pilot programs around the decisions owners need to make, from feasibility through scale-up and operating conditions.

04

Independent Design Reviews

Review process design and operating assumptions from an owner’s perspective before avoidable issues reach construction or start-up.

05

Commissioning

Plan and support testing, handover and early operation so equipment, work processes and teams are ready for production.

06

Permit to Work

Develop practical permit to work and confined space systems that support safe work in real plant conditions.

07

Risk Management

Identify likely processing and operational failure points, assess their impact and put workable controls in place.

08

Operational Readiness

Prepare people, procedures and operating systems for start-up, handover and stable production.
