Flotation Cell Efficiency
Common flotation control valves, such as dart or pinch valves, pose several challenges to flotation cell efficiency. Due to their substantial size, they often have elevated capital/operating costs and energy consumption. In certain designs, where a dart valve is located inside the tank, the physical space consumed by the valve can impact fluid dynamics and increase the overall footprint of the flotation cell.
SlurryFlo control valves are manufactured with the shortest face-to-face dimensions on the market. By installing our valves outside the tank, its diameter can be reduced, while minimizing the distance required between cells. As a result, the multi-stage flotation system footprint can be condensed when utilizing our technology.
