Eriez Flotation Division to sponsor Flotation '19

We are pleased to welcome Eriez Flotation Division (EFD) as a first time sponsor of an MEI Conference. Formerly known as Canadian Process Technologies, Inc. (CPT), EFD is a wholly owned subsidiary of Eriez Manufacturing Co., USA. Since acquiring CPT in 2007, Eriez provides advanced testing and engineering services in addition to sparging and column flotation equipment for the mining and minerals processing industries.

It was good to catch up with Dr. Mike Mankosa, EFD's Executive Vice President-Global Technology, last month in Falmouth. Mike is the inventor of Eriez's HydroFloat Cell and the StackCell, both of which were featured at Flotation '17. The HydroFloat cell significantly increases recovery of coarse particles (up to 6 mm) by forming a hindered “teeter” bed of fluidized solids into which small air bubbles are introduced. The StackCell is a small stackable mechanical cell which offers reduced mixing in the cell and shorter residence times.

It will be interesting to hear of more innovations from Eriez at Flotation '19. The latest updates can be found at #Flotation19.
