Scope & Objectives

The project focused on the development of a hardware and software solution, with the key objective of automated flotation process control.

(The flotation process involves the treatment of nickel slag pulp, followed by its separation into nickel and copper concentrates.)

Automated Control Tasks:

• Foam surface area monitoring

      • Detection and assessment of the presence and physical condition of foam scrapers

      • Monitoring foam removal presence and stability

       • Detection of pulp overflow

The project scope covered 30 flotation cells.

The economic impact lies in the real-time management of the production process, resulting in higher quality nickel and copper concentrates
