A Few Things to Try Out for Yourself

Here are a few practical examples to help you understand and customize the TEA model.

As you're going through the examples - it's extremely important to critically think about the numbers that results. If it doesn't make sense, if it's unintuitive, or if it's a surprise - use it as an opportunity to follow the trail and understand where the difference is coming from.

When doing these mini analyses, you can create a 'peek' section to quickly see the impact without jumping between sheets all the time.

Here are the examples you can explore:

  1. Sensitivity Analysis on Bioleach Recovery Rate - Learn how to test different recovery rates and observe their impact on the model.

  2. What if microbes, acid, inputs were free? - Explore how changing cost assumptions affects the overall economics.

  3. Add a Unit Operation - Follow a step-by-step guide to add a new unit operation to the process flow.

  4. Add a Sensitivity - Learn how to add new sensitivity parameters to the model for customized analyses.
