With another 3 months to go, Flotation '25 continues to gain momentum, with over 100 delegates already registered for the packed programme.
We are delighted to welcome our latest sponsors, Woodgrove Technologies and Thermo Fisher Scientific, bringing the total number of sponsors to 24.
Founded in 2009 by Glenn Kosick and Glenn Dobby, Woodgrove was created to commercialise their innovative Staged Flotation Reactor, building on the success of their earlier company, Minnovex, which was sold to SGS Canada in 2005. Glenn Dobby was a keynote lecturer at Flotation '23 and a co-author of the seminal Column Flotation, with MEI Consultant Jim Finch.

In 2018, for the first time in its history, a double award was made at the Canadian Mineral Processors Annual Meeting, when Glenn Dobby and Glenn Kosick were made Canadian Mineral Processors of the Year for their development of the Staged Flotation Reactor. Woodgrove’s Staged Flotation Reactors and Direct Flotation Reactors are low-footprint and cost-efficient flotation units that are claimed to achieve higher upgrading at similar recovery to conventional flotation cells. The Direct Flotation Reactor will feature in a presentation at Flotation '25.
We are particularly pleased to welcome Thermo Fisher Scientific as a first time sponsor of an MEI flotation conference. The American multinational last supported an MEI event at Process Mineralogy '18.While Thermo Fisher does not manufacture flotation cells or mechanical flotation equipment its contribution to the flotation field is significant through its analytical instrumentation and process control technologies. At Flotation '25 a presentation will show how Thermo Fisher's Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) technology is revolutionising process control in iron ore flotation plants,
A reminder that if you intend to be at Flotation '25 we advise you to book your accommodation as soon as possible and register via the conference website.
