Operation and Maintenance

The DEC Flotation column was designed and engineered by experienced operators in flotation and leveraging the knowledge of what works and what does not work in flotation circuits, as well as the problems of conventional Mechanical and Column flotation cells. The DEC Flotation column is a dream to operate and maintain.

The DEC Flotation column is so simple to operate – all that it required is a control on the feed rate.  The standard DEC Flotation column comes with a level control, making operation very convenient. There are no moving parts and very efficient pump size.

When it comes to maintenance, the DEC Flotation column is a winner.
