Features

  • Accurately detects changes in froth velocity and bubble size
  • Learns and improves over time, trained on flotation images
  • Provides high-resolution analysis of froth stability and bubble dynamics and learns the context of bubbles providing real-time accurate bubble sizing that can be used to optimise air addition to the cells
  • Provides real-time pull rate velocities to stabilise and optimise mass pull between flotation cells and banks
  • Low-cost implementation, allowing installation on all flotation cell sections
  • Live video stream provided to control room
  • Integrates seamlessly with the OreVia suite, Molycop VIP Platform and existing flotation control systems
  • Detect anomalies: Identify trends and anomalies in the froth to facilitate data-driven decision making

Overview

Installed above flotation tanks, OreVia accurately detects froth pulp velocity, monitors bubble size and reports flotation anomaly conditions. OreVia enables real-time measurement of flotation froth velocities on individual flotation cells to maximise mineral extraction efficiency.

The system integrates seamlessly with existing control systems and offers remote monitoring features. OreVia can easily be evaluated off site through quick video-based demonstrations that can be provided by Molycop free of charge using video footage of flotation cells.

How does OreVia – Froth work?

Images are captured by an Internet Protocol (IP) camera positioned above the froth flotation tank. Video is livestreamed to the control room, with AI technology enabling operators to diagnose and react quickly to operational problems such as no-flow or adverse pulping conditions.

Typical Uses

OreVia is used by mining operations to improve control over the flotation process for optimised performance and profitability. By continuously analysing froth behaviour, operators can make immediate adjustments to improve recovery rates, reduce reagent consumption and stabilise plant operations.

Benefits

  • Improve recovery: Accurate bubble sizing enables optimised air addition and use of flotation surface area to improve recovery and bank stability.
  • Measure pulp velocity: Stabilise and optimise mass pull between flotation cells and banks.
  • Lower operational costs: Reduce operational costs by optimising froth management. 
  • With improved process control improving recovery rates, reducing reagent consumption and maintaining product specification, operational costs are reduced and profitability is enhanced.

Fosterville Gold Mine: Successful Deployment of Milling Optimisation Technology

Agnico Eagle Fosterville Gold Mine (Fosterville) operates a gold plant in Australia comprising of a crushing and grinding circuit (SAG mill with a closed loop cyclone classification circuit) followed by flotation, bacterial oxidation and leaching circuits. The lack of surge capacity between the grinding and flotation circuit and restrictions on crushing operations due to noise constraints resulted in unique set of challenges, that required the implementation of a novel control solution using advanced instrumentation.
