WHAT IS V-TOUR


What is Virtual Tour?
This project consists of a web-based information centre for people interested in an overview of the Canadian metallurgical industry. The web site is in the form of a interactive plant tours with flow-sheets including images and descriptions of the equipment involved. We intend to cover mineral processing, extractive metallurgy, and forming processes for various materials. The site is searchable (by process, metal, or unit operation), easy to navigate, and fully linked to industry web sites.

Currently in its development phase, several Virtual Tours have been placed online this summer, and are being presented at the Annual Conference of Metallurgists in late August. We intend to add additional processes in the future.

How can we get our process included?
Would your company be willing to submit technical information and images for this endevour? In particular, we wish to provide photographs and descriptions for each unit process in selected flowsheets. If you could provide us with such information, we would very much appreciate it. If you or your company is interested in having your process included on this web site, please contact:
