Challenges

Optimisation of
flotation circuit

Large flotation circuit of over 50 flotation cells

Need to regularly adjust setpoints in accordance with ore changes

Nonlinear process with many interconnected parameters

AI powered Flotation
Process Control

Solution

Selects optimal settings for froth depth, air supply, and reagent dosage based on predictions

Predicts concentrate grade, yield and recovery 20-60 minutes in advance

Allows to customise optimization criterion on operation level and on section level

Results

Increase in recovery
