Flotation '25 is only 19 months away!!

It's only 5 months since Flotation '23 ended in Cape Town, MEI's biggest conference to date. MEI's flotation series is now firmly established as the must conference to attend for anyone involved in this crucial operation, which becomes ever more important in dealing with dwindling supplies of easy to treat ore and the need to concentrate the 'new' minerals needed for the green transition.

Already there has been a great response to Flotation '25, with 17 companies signed up for sponsorship, and 16 of the 23 exhibition booths booked. Exhibiting at the conference provides excellent exposure, as the exhibit area is where delegates break for coffee and lunches and networking.

There will be many opportunities for networking over the 4 days, at the evening sundowners in the wonderful Vineyard Hotel gardens, and at the informal conference dinner. All the leading figures in flotation are expected to be there, including Prof. Graeme Jameson, whose Jameson Cell celebrated its 30th birthday at Flotation '19

The Jameson Cell is marketed by Glencore Technology, one of the Flotation '25 sponsors and exhibitors. Also on display will be Prof. Jameson's Concorde Cell, marketed by sponsor and exhibitor Metso,who recently launched the first of its Concorde Cell high-intensity pneumatic flotation units in Africa through local manufacturing partner Betterect, which fabricated Metso’s design in South Africa for the first time.

Although we are a long way off the conference, it's not too early to think about submitting abstracts and there will be more information on the first two keynote lectures shortly.

In the meantime, here are a few photos taken at Flotation '23 to whet your appetites!
