Achieve optimal level control to maximize production Flotation level cells are used to separate potash from salt, and accurate measurement is crucial. When using a bubbler style differential pressure measurement to measure the level of the cell, product density changes can cause level fluctuations which lead to process upsets.
Read MoreFlotation is a difficult process to run efficiently. One way to make flotation performance better is to improve cell level control. However, controlling pulp levels in flotation cells is a complex control task because of strong interactions between the levels in flotation cells. Therefore advanced controllers are needed to give good level control.

Read MoreThe control of pulp levels in flotation cells is a complex control task. Many different aspects such as cell structure and valve sizing, and their effects on control, have to be taken into account. Control becomes more and more difficult as the complexity of the cell configurations and the number of cells used in configuration increase.
