Welcome to the 17th ACPS Conference and Exhibition

The ACPS biennial conference and exhibition is considered to be the premier technical and professional development opportunity in coal preparation.

A key focus is optimising the utilisation of our coal resource and operations. We continue to develop a deeper understanding of the coal resource and quantitative methods for defining its potential value. Within our plant operations, we are striving to improve availability, reliability and metallurgical performance of our assets, in order to reduce operating costs and maximise value.

The conference is open to mining, geology, engineering and processing professionals, graduates and students, consultants and technology company representatives and presents a great personal and professional development and networking opportunities for all.

Some 40 plus exhibitors will showcase current equipment and services as well as new and emerging technology developments.

On behalf of the Organising Committee, I look forward to warmly welcoming you to the Royal International Convention Centre in Brisbane in September 2018 to participate in the 17th ACPS Conference and Exhibition.
