There are really two ways to improve profit-on-site. One way is to focus on profit through cost savings and reducing operating costs. The second way is through producing more metal by improving operational efficiency and equipment availability. This article discusses five main areas that will have the biggest impact on flotation performance, thereby optimizing profit. They are: 1. Maintenance practices; 2. Matching froth crowding to duty; 3. Optimizing energy input; 4. Improving circuit control; and 5. Updating and replacing old equipment. In order to understand where the opportunities exist, one must have a good understanding of the equipment. The first step is understanding the role various components play in the successful production of concentrate. The challenge is then relating the plant's metallurgy to equipment performance and then determining if there will be benefits gained from changing the current situation.
