Expanded flotation offering has new cell and level-control
The TankCell s-Series flotation units are standardized units based on this company’s proven TankCell e-Series solution, while the CellStation (photo) is an intelligent and easy-to-operate solution for controlling the air feed and pulp level in flotation cells — a task that becomes more challenging as the number and complexity of cells in a configuration increases. The solution incorporates the company’s ExactLevel controller, which enables more accurate level control and significantly reduces process disturbance, resulting in more stable froth conditions and therefore improvements in the flotation cell’s metallurgical performance. CellStation has plug-and-play connectivity with the FrothSense sensor system, which measures the essential properties of froth, including speed, direction, bubble size, stability and color, and provides statistical data related to these variables. — Outotec Oyj, Espoo, Finland
