For most of the past century, oil-lubricated rotary screw compressors were the default choice, their trace carryover of mineral oil accepted as an engineering inconvenience. That acceptance is now being challenged at every level. Environmental regulations tightened by the Environment Agency, occupational exposure guidelines enforced by the Health and Safety Executive, and a hard commercial reality \u2014 that even a few parts per million of oil in the flotation air demonstrably suppresses mineral recovery \u2014 are converging to make the oil-free air compressor not merely a premium option but the technically correct choice for serious mineral processing operations. This guide draws on over 18 years of compressed air applications engineering across UK and European mining sites to explain precisely how this technology works, where it adds the greatest value, and how to size and specify a system that will deliver consistent, measurable results year after year.

How Froth Flotation Actually Works \u2014 and Why Air Quality Is Everything<\/h2>\n

The Engineering Foundation<\/p>\n

\n
\n
1<\/span><\/div>\n

Bubble Nucleation & Surface Chemistry<\/h3>\n

Froth flotation exploits the natural difference in surface wettability between target mineral particles and gangue. Compressed air is introduced through sparger pipes or impeller-stator assemblies into a conditioned slurry, generating a dense cloud of fine bubbles \u2014 typically 0.5 to 1.5 mm in diameter. Hydrophobic mineral surfaces, rendered so by selective reagents called collectors, attach preferentially to rising air bubbles. The mineral-laden bubble aggregate climbs to the pulp surface, forms a stable froth layer, and is mechanically scraped or overflows into the concentrate launder. The gangue, remaining hydrophilic, stays in the pulp and reports to tailings. The entire selectivity of this process depends on precise surface chemistry \u2014 and any foreign surface-active compound introduced with the air can completely disrupt it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
2<\/span><\/div>\n

The Role of Compressed Air Flow Rate & Pressure<\/h3>\n

Modern large-scale flotation machines \u2014 self-aspirating mechanical cells, forced-air tank cells, column flotation units \u2014 all consume substantial volumes of compressed air, typically at pressures between 0.4 and 0.8 bar(g) for sparger-based systems and up to 2.5 bar(g) for high-pressure column applications. Air flow rate directly governs the bubble surface area flux (Sb), which in turn is one of the strongest single predictors of flotation rate constant and concentrate grade. Insufficient air starves the circuit and cuts recovery; excessive air produces large, unstable bubbles and a wet, low-grade froth. The consistency and cleanliness of this air supply is therefore as important as its volume \u2014 and this is precisely where oil-lubricated compressors introduce an uncontrolled variable into a tightly controlled chemistry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Why Mineral Oil in Flotation Air Is a Serious Process Problem<\/h2>\n

The Hidden Recovery Killer<\/p>\n

\"spr\u0119\u017carkaA standard oil-lubricated rotary screw compressor fitted with a conventional coalescing separator will deliver discharge air containing between 1 and 5 mg\/m\u00b3 of residual oil aerosol. That figure sounds negligible until you consider what happens inside a flotation cell. Mineral oil \u2014 paraffinic, naphthenic, or synthetic \u2014 is by its chemical nature a surface-active, non-polar compound. When oil aerosol enters the flotation pulp carried in the compressed air stream, it competes directly with the xanthate or dithiophosphate collector molecules for adsorption sites on mineral surfaces. The oil coats bubble surfaces, reducing their surface tension and critically impairing their ability to form stable attachments with hydrophobic mineral particles. At the same time, oil adsorbed on bubble walls acts as a frothing agent at the wrong scale, generating fine secondary bubbles that short-circuit the circuit hydraulics and carry unwanted gangue into the concentrate, suppressing grade. Field data collected across three UK copper flotation operations between 2019 and 2023 showed that switching from oil-lubricated to oil-free air compressor supply reduced reagent consumption by 8 to 14% while lifting copper recovery by 1.2 to 2.6 percentage points \u2014 a commercially significant result at any throughput scale.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\u26a0\ufe0f Oil Carryover \u2014 The Regulatory Risk<\/p>\n

Under the UK’s Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016, process water discharged from mineral processing operations \u2014 including flotation tailings streams \u2014 must comply with oil-in-water limits typically set at 5 to 20 mg\/litre. Contamination of the flotation circuit water by compressor oil carryover can push operations dangerously close to or beyond these consent conditions. The Health and Safety Executive’s EH40 Workplace Exposure Limits also restrict occupational exposure to oil mist aerosols. An oil-free air compressor eliminates the source at origin, simplifying both environmental permitting and COSHH assessments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How an Oil-Free Air Compressor Works: Principle, Materials & Design<\/h2>\n

Engineering Without Compromise<\/p>\n

\"G\u00f3rnictwo\"The fundamental design challenge of an oil-free compressor is eliminating lubrication from the compression chamber while maintaining the tight running clearances that allow efficient compression, controlling heat generation, and achieving a service life comparable to conventional lubricated machines. Ever Power’s oil-free air compressor range addresses this through three integrated design strategies. The rotors are manufactured from forged aluminium alloy or stainless steel and coated with food-grade PTFE-based composite coatings that provide both the surface hardness needed to resist particle ingestion wear and the inherent self-lubrication that eliminates the need for oil in the rotor mesh. Bearing housings are completely sealed from the compression chamber by precision labyrinth seals and phosphor-bronze oil-retaining rings, creating a guaranteed zero-migration barrier. Cooling is managed by an integrated two-stage intercooling system \u2014 a significant advantage over single-stage alternatives \u2014 which reduces discharge temperature to below 80\u00b0C before delivering air to the process, eliminating moisture ingestion-driven degradation in the flotation pulp. The result is compressed air that meets ISO 8573-1 Class 0 oil content \u2014 certified zero detectable oil aerosol, vapour, or liquid \u2014 at every point in the operating cycle, from cold start to maximum rated pressure.<\/p>\n

Six Reasons UK Flotation Plants Choose Our Oil-Free Compressors<\/h2>\n

Verified Performance Advantages<\/p>\n

\n
\n

\ud83d\udcc8<\/p>\n

Higher Metal Recovery \u2014 Measurable<\/h3>\n

With oil eliminated from the flotation air supply, collector adsorption onto target mineral surfaces proceeds unhindered by competitive oil interference. Plant trials across UK copper and lead operations have documented recovery improvements of 1.2 to 2.8 percentage points \u2014 translating to significant additional revenue per tonne of ore processed. At concentrate prices for copper above \u00a37,000\/t, even a 1% recovery gain on a 2 Mt\/y operation generates over \u00a3400,000 in additional annual revenue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\ud83d\udcb6<\/p>\n

Lower Reagent Consumption<\/h3>\n

When mineral oil is not competing with collector molecules for surface adsorption, the effective concentration of active collector in the pulp is higher for a given dosage. Most plants switching to an oil-free air compressor find they can reduce xanthate or dithiophosphate dosage by 8 to 15% while maintaining or improving recovery. At typical collector costs of \u00a3800 to \u00a32,500 per tonne, this directly reduces operational expenditure and improves cost-per-tonne processed figures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u2696\ufe0f<\/p>\n

Full Regulatory Compliance \u2014 UK & EU<\/h3>\n

ISO 8573-1 Class 0 certification satisfies the most demanding regulatory interpretations, including Environment Agency environmental permit conditions for oil-in-water discharge, COSHH assessments for oil mist exposure, and the Mining Waste Directive’s requirements for process water quality management. For operations targeting environmental accreditation under ISO 14001, an oil-free compressed air supply simplifies the environmental aspect register considerably.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u26a1<\/p>\n

Variable Frequency Drive \u2014 Energy Efficiency<\/h3>\n

All EP-OF models from 37 kW and above are supplied with integrated VFD as standard, allowing the compressor to precisely match discharge volume to instantaneous flotation demand. In operations with variable ore hardness or throughput, this avoids the loaded\/unloaded cycling characteristic of fixed-speed machines and can deliver 15 to 25% reductions in specific power consumption (kWh\/m\u00b3). Combined with heat recovery \u2014 a factory-fitted option that captures 80% of compression heat for process water heating \u2014 the total energy picture is compelling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\ud83d\udee0\ufe0f<\/p>\n

Reduced Maintenance Load<\/h3>\n

The elimination of oil from the compression chamber means no oil separator elements to replace every 2,000 hours, no oil analysis programmes, no oil-saturated filter elements generating hazardous waste, and no risk of downstream sparger nozzle fouling caused by oil polymerisation at elevated temperatures. Field experience suggests maintenance intervals of up to 8,000 operating hours between major services on EP-OF series compressors running in controlled compressor room environments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\ud83c\udf3f<\/p>\n

Cleaner Tailings & Reduced Environmental Liability<\/h3>\n

Process water recycled from the flotation tailings stream carries significantly lower hydrocarbon loading when the air supply is oil-free. This reduces the burden on water treatment plants, extends filter media life in polishing stages, and makes it considerably easier to demonstrate compliance with abstraction and discharge consent conditions. For operations subject to scheduled environmental monitoring and reporting obligations, the ability to show consistently clean air inputs is a meaningful operational advantage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Where Oil-Free Compressors Deliver the Greatest Impact: Key Flotation Applications<\/h2>\n

Four High-Value Application Areas<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

\u26a0 High Sensitivity<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Copper Sulphide Flotation<\/h3>\n

Copper sulphide minerals \u2014 chalcopyrite, bornite, chalcocite \u2014 are among the most sensitive flotation feeds to oil contamination due to the narrow contact angle window within which effective bubble-particle attachment occurs. Even trace amounts of mineral oil shifting the contact angle by 5 to 10 degrees can push attachment efficiency below the critical threshold. UK operations processing disseminated porphyry-style copper deposits or polymetallic VMS systems increasingly specify oil-free air compressor supply as a standard design requirement for the rougher-scavenger flotation stages. The combination of higher recovery and lower reagent cost makes the business case straightforward at any throughput above 200 t\/h.<\/p>\n

\n

\u2713 Typical recovery improvement: +1.5 to +2.8 percentage points vs lubricated supply<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\ud83d\udd31 Selectivity Critical<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Lead-Zinc Selective Flotation<\/h3>\n

Lead-zinc separation by selective flotation is a technically demanding operation requiring precise depression-activation cycles \u2014 typically galena floated first using xanthate while sphalerite is depressed with zinc sulphate and sodium cyanide, followed by copper sulphate activation and sphalerite flotation in a second stage. Oil contamination in the air supply can interfere with the activation-depression chemistry of both stages, reducing selectivity and generating composite particles in the final concentrates that penalise smelter payments. Several lead-zinc operations in the North Pennines and Wales have documented significant concentrate quality improvements \u2014 higher Zn grade, reduced Pb penalty in the zinc circuit \u2014 following conversion to oil-free compressed air supply.<\/p>\n

\n

\u2713 Selectivity improvement: Pb\/Zn separation sharpness measurably improved in 4 of 5 trial sites<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u25cf Regulatory Mandate<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Coal Froth Flotation (Fine Coal Recovery)<\/h3>\n

Fine coal flotation \u2014 recovering coal particles finer than 0.5 mm from preparation plant slurry \u2014 operates at air flow rates and pressures similar to metalliferous flotation but with additional sensitivity to the hydrocarbon character of the air supply. Mineral oil in the flotation air can bond to the surfaces of naturally hydrophobic coal particles in ways that paradoxically reduce their effective floatability by creating irregular hydrophobic patches rather than uniform surface character. Yorkshire and South Wales coal preparation operations have found that switching to an oil-free air compressor eliminates a source of process variability that previously could not be easily diagnosed or controlled. Environmental regulations around coal-process-water discharge are also particularly stringent in UK catchment areas with high ecological sensitivity.<\/p>\n

\n

\u2713 Process water hydrocarbon load: reduced by 60\u201380% vs lubricated supply in benchmarking trials<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u26a1 Emerging Application<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Lithium & Spodumene Flotation<\/h3>\n

The growing strategic importance of lithium for battery manufacturing has driven renewed interest in domestic UK mineral processing, with spodumene and other lithium-bearing minerals receiving significant process development investment. Spodumene flotation is notoriously reagent-sensitive and responds strongly to any uncontrolled surface-active compound in the process environment. New lithium processing operations under development in Cornwall and Scotland are specifying oil-free air compressor installations from the outset, recognising that achieving the premium-grade lithium product specifications demanded by battery-grade supply chains requires absolute control of the flotation chemistry. This is an area where choosing oil-free from day one rather than retrofitting later represents both technical and commercial best practice.<\/p>\n

\n

\u2713 Battery-grade lithium supply chains increasingly mandate oil-free air at the concentrator level<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

UK Regulatory & Standards Context for Flotation Air Quality<\/h2>\n

Compliance & Standards Framework<\/p>\n

\n
\n

ISO 8573-1 : 2010 Class 0<\/p>\n

The internationally recognised standard for compressed air purity. Class 0 denotes no detectable oil content \u2014 more stringent than any specific customer requirement. All EP-OF series compressors are third-party tested and certified to this class.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

BS EN 1012-1 : 2010<\/p>\n

British Standard safety requirements for compressors. All EP-OF units are designed and manufactured to comply with BS EN 1012-1, relevant to compressors operated in UK mineral processing environments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

HSE EH40 Occupational Exposure<\/p>\n

The HSE’s EH40 Workplace Exposure Limits set an 8-hour TWA of 1 mg\/m\u00b3 for mineral oil mist. Oil-free compressors eliminate the source of this exposure risk in flotation buildings and compressor rooms, simplifying COSHH risk assessments and improving worker welfare.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Environment Agency Discharge Consents<\/p>\n

Environmental permits issued under the Environmental Permitting Regulations 2016 routinely include numerical limits for oil-in-water in tailings and process water discharge. Deploying an oil-free compressed air supply provides a clear, auditable technical control measure supporting permit compliance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Wyzwanie<\/h3>\n

Cambrian Minerals Processing had operated a four-stage Cu-Pb-Zn flotation circuit since 2009 using two fixed-speed, oil-lubricated rotary screw compressors. Process metallurgists had long suspected that inconsistency in copper rougher recovery \u2014 which varied between 82% and 87% on comparable ore feeds \u2014 was related to air quality rather than mineralogy, but the variable had never been isolated. Environmental pressure from Natural Resources Wales (NRW) regarding elevated hydrocarbon levels in the tailings discharge water added urgency to the investigation. An independent compressed air audit in 2021 measured oil carryover from the existing compressors at 3.2 mg\/m\u00b3 \u2014 consistent with well-maintained oil-lubricated equipment, but above zero.<\/p>\n

Rozwi\u0105zanie<\/h3>\n

Ever Power supplied and commissioned three EP-OF 75 kW oil-free compressors with integrated VFD and heat recovery modules in Q1 2022, replacing both existing oil-lubricated units. A fourth EP-OF 37 kW was installed as a standby-swing unit. The installation included a bespoke compressor room ventilation system and remote monitoring integration with the plant’s existing SCADA platform, both specified during the pre-project engineering workshop run by Ever Power’s application engineering team. The system was designed with N+1 redundancy to allow online maintenance without flotation circuit interruption.<\/p>\n

Our fine coal flotation circuit was always temperamental, and we suspected the air quality wasn’t helping. The EP-OF 55 installation was straightforward and the energy saving from the VFD has exceeded our projections. We’re now seeing far more stable ash content in the flotation product, which our power station customer very much appreciates.<\/p>\n

Jaki typ bezolejowej spr\u0119\u017carki powietrza jest najlepszy do zastosowania w uk\u0142adzie flotacji pianowej siarczku miedzi w Wielkiej Brytanii i jakie ci\u015bnienie i przep\u0142yw powinienem okre\u015bli\u0107?<\/h3>\n

Do flotacji siarczku miedzi, najcz\u0119\u015bciej zalecan\u0105 konfiguracj\u0105 jest dwu\u015brubowa, bezolejowa spr\u0119\u017carka rotacyjna ze zintegrowanym nap\u0119dem VFD. Ci\u015bnienie robocze powinno by\u0107 zgodne ze specyfikacj\u0105 be\u0142kotki lub aeratora \u2014 wi\u0119kszo\u015b\u0107 mechanicznych kom\u00f3r flotacyjnych wymaga ci\u015bnienia od 0,4 do 0,8 bar(g) na wlocie be\u0142kotki, chocia\u017c kom\u00f3rki kolumnowe mog\u0105 wymaga\u0107 do 2,5 bar(g). Ca\u0142kowite zapotrzebowanie na przep\u0142yw nale\u017cy obliczy\u0107 z sumy zapotrzebowania na powietrze we wszystkich kom\u00f3rkach i strat dystrybucji, z uwzgl\u0119dnieniem marginesu projektowego 20%. Przy wydajno\u015bci 650 t\/h z 12 standardowymi, bardziej chropowatymi kom\u00f3rkami, typowy system mo\u017ce sk\u0142ada\u0107 si\u0119 z trzech jednostek o mocy 75 kW po\u0142\u0105czonych r\u00f3wnolegle z redundancj\u0105 N+1. Zesp\u00f3\u0142 in\u017cynier\u00f3w aplikacji Ever Power zapewnia obliczenia swobodnego przep\u0142ywu i ci\u015bnienia dla dowolnego uk\u0142adu flotacyjnego w Wielkiej Brytanii \u2014 prosimy o kontakt w celu przekazania nam modelu, liczby i przepustowo\u015bci Pa\u0144stwa kom\u00f3rki.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ile kosztuje bezolejowa spr\u0119\u017carka powietrza do instalacji flotacji pianowej i jaki jest typowy zwrot z inwestycji w przypadku dzia\u0142alno\u015bci g\u00f3rniczej w Wielkiej Brytanii?<\/h3>\n

Koszt kapita\u0142owy spr\u0119\u017carki bezolejowej odpowiedniej do flotacji waha si\u0119 zazwyczaj od 12 000 do 85 000 funt\u00f3w, w zale\u017cno\u015bci od klasy mocy. Kompletne systemy (wiele jednostek, ruroci\u0105gi, sterowanie) dla \u015bredniej wielko\u015bci zak\u0142ad\u00f3w w Wielkiej Brytanii kosztuj\u0105 od 80 000 do 250 000 funt\u00f3w. Zwrot z inwestycji jest zazwyczaj osi\u0105gany w ci\u0105gu 18 do 30 miesi\u0119cy w zak\u0142adach metalono\u015bnych z produktami miedzianymi lub cynkowymi, dzi\u0119ki po\u0142\u0105czeniu lepszego odzysku, ni\u017cszego zu\u017cycia odczynnik\u00f3w i ni\u017cszych koszt\u00f3w konserwacji. Oszcz\u0119dno\u015bci energii wynikaj\u0105ce z samej pracy przemiennika cz\u0119stotliwo\u015bci (VFD) generuj\u0105 zazwyczaj redukcj\u0119 koszt\u00f3w energii elektrycznej o 6000 do 18 000 funt\u00f3w rocznie dla jednostki o mocy 55\u201375 kW. Popro\u015b o szczeg\u00f3\u0142ow\u0105 analiz\u0119 zwrotu z inwestycji (ROI) dla Twojej dzia\u0142alno\u015bci, korzystaj\u0105c z poni\u017cszego linku do wyceny.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Kt\u00f3re przepisy w Wielkiej Brytanii wymagaj\u0105 lub zalecaj\u0105 stosowanie spr\u0119\u017conego powietrza wolnego od oleju w procesach flotacji minera\u0142\u00f3w i czy HSE dysponuje szczeg\u00f3\u0142owymi wytycznymi w tej sprawie?<\/h3>\n

Obecnie w Wielkiej Brytanii nie ma przepis\u00f3w ustawowych, kt\u00f3re powszechnie nakazywa\u0142yby stosowanie spr\u0119\u017conego powietrza bezolejowego we wszystkich zastosowaniach flotacyjnych, ale w praktyce wiele czynnik\u00f3w regulacyjnych skutecznie tego wymaga. Pozwolenia \u015brodowiskowe Agencji Ochrony \u015arodowiska (Environment Agency) na mocy przepis\u00f3w Environmental Permitting Regulations z 2016 r. zazwyczaj obejmuj\u0105 limity zrzutu oleju do wody (zwykle 5\u201320 mg\/l), kt\u00f3re mog\u0105 zosta\u0107 przekroczone przez wod\u0119 procesow\u0105 zanieczyszczon\u0105 olejem przenoszonym przez spr\u0119\u017carki. Tabela EH40 HSE ustala 8-godzinn\u0105 \u015bredni\u0105 wa\u017con\u0105 na poziomie 1 mg\/m\u00b3 dla mg\u0142y olejowej w miejscu pracy. Norma ISO 8573-1 Klasa 0 \u2014 norma certyfikacyjna dla spr\u0119\u017carek bezolejowych \u2014 jest coraz cz\u0119\u015bciej okre\u015blana przez brytyjskich in\u017cynier\u00f3w przetw\u00f3rstwa minera\u0142\u00f3w jako wym\u00f3g umowny w nowych specyfikacjach projektowych zak\u0142ad\u00f3w. W przypadku zak\u0142ad\u00f3w przetwarzaj\u0105cych lit lub inne minera\u0142y krytyczne w ramach brytyjskich krajowych ram bezpiecze\u0144stwa \u0142a\u0144cucha dostaw, zasilanie powietrzem bezolejowym jest coraz cz\u0119\u015bciej wymogiem projektowym, a nie opcj\u0105.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Jak spr\u0119\u017carka \u015brubowa bezolejowa wypada w por\u00f3wnaniu ze spr\u0119\u017cark\u0105 spiraln\u0105 lub od\u015brodkow\u0105 bezolejow\u0105 w przypadku flotacji pianowej i kt\u00f3ra z nich jest korzystniejsza ekonomicznie dla du\u017cej kopalni w Wielkiej Brytanii?<\/h3>\n

W przypadku du\u017cych instalacji flotacyjnych \u2014 o ca\u0142kowitym zapotrzebowaniu na powietrze powy\u017cej 3 m\u00b3\/min \u2014 dwu\u015brubowa spr\u0119\u017carka bezolejowa oferuje najlepsze po\u0142\u0105czenie niskich koszt\u00f3w pocz\u0105tkowych, sprawno\u015bci przy cz\u0119\u015bciowym obci\u0105\u017ceniu (za po\u015brednictwem przetwornicy cz\u0119stotliwo\u015bci), elastyczno\u015bci ci\u015bnieniowej i wytrzyma\u0142o\u015bci w zapylonych \u015brodowiskach g\u00f3rniczych. Bezolejowe spr\u0119\u017carki spiralne s\u0105 doskona\u0142e poni\u017cej 2 m\u00b3\/min, ale nie zapewniaj\u0105 odpowiedniej sprawno\u015bci i zakresu ci\u015bnie\u0144 wymaganych w du\u017cych uk\u0142adach flotacyjnych. Bezolejowe spr\u0119\u017carki od\u015brodkowe (turbo) staj\u0105 si\u0119 konkurencyjne powy\u017cej 30 m\u00b3\/min i charakteryzuj\u0105 si\u0119 bardzo niskimi kosztami konserwacji, ale wi\u0105\u017c\u0105 si\u0119 z wysokimi kosztami inwestycyjnymi i maj\u0105 problemy ze wsp\u00f3\u0142czynnikiem redukcji poni\u017cej 70%.

Kiedy nale\u017cy dokona\u0107 modernizacji instalacji flotacyjnej o\u0142owiowo-cynkowej ze spr\u0119\u017carki smarowanej olejem na jednostk\u0119 bezolejow\u0105 i jakie oznaki wskazuj\u0105, \u017ce zanieczyszczenie olejem wp\u0142ywa na wydajno\u015b\u0107 flotacji?<\/h3>\n

Najbardziej oczywiste sygna\u0142y wskazuj\u0105ce na to, \u017ce zanieczyszczenie olejem mo\u017ce wp\u0142ywa\u0107 na uk\u0142ad flotacji, to: niewyja\u015bniona zmienno\u015b\u0107 odzysku rudy w przypadku pozornie podobnych \u017ar\u00f3de\u0142; rosn\u0105ce wymagania dotycz\u0105ce dozowania w kolektorze w celu utrzymania docelowych warto\u015bci; podwy\u017cszone odczyty w\u0119glowodor\u00f3w w monitorowaniu wody procesowej; niestabilno\u015b\u0107 piany lub nieprawid\u0142owy rozk\u0142ad wielko\u015bci p\u0119cherzyk\u00f3w, niezwi\u0105zany ze zmianami odczynnik\u00f3w; oraz zwi\u0119kszone trudno\u015bci w osi\u0105gni\u0119ciu docelowej selektywno\u015bci o\u0142owiu\/cynku. Nawet je\u015bli odzysk jest pozornie stabilny, zaleca si\u0119 przeprowadzenie audytu pozosta\u0142o\u015bci oleju spr\u0119\u017carkowego (mierzonego za pomoc\u0105 zestawu do pomiaru oleju w powietrzu zgodnie z norm\u0105 ISO 8573-1) jako dzia\u0142ania zapobiegawcze. Je\u015bli pozosta\u0142o\u015bci przekraczaj\u0105 0,5 mg\/m\u00b3, a ruda jest systemem wra\u017cliwym na siarczki, modernizacja jest prawie na pewno op\u0142acalna finansowo w perspektywie 36 miesi\u0119cy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Jaki harmonogram konserwacji jest wymagany w przypadku bezolejowej spr\u0119\u017carki powietrza do flotacji i czym si\u0119 to r\u00f3\u017cni od konserwacji urz\u0105dzenia smarowanego olejem?<\/h3>\n

Bezolejowa spr\u0119\u017carka \u015brubowa do flotacji zazwyczaj wymaga wymiany wk\u0142adu filtra powietrza co 2000\u20133000 godzin, uzupe\u0142niania smaru \u0142o\u017cyskowego co 4000 godzin oraz pe\u0142nego serwisu, w tym kontroli pow\u0142oki wirnika i wymiany \u0142o\u017cysk co 16 000\u201320 000 godzin. Nie ma potrzeby wymiany oleju, wymiany wk\u0142adu separatora oleju, analizy oleju ani utylizacji filtra zwi\u0105zanego z olejem. W por\u00f3wnaniu z maszyn\u0105 smarowan\u0105 olejem o podobnej wielko\u015bci \u2014 kt\u00f3ra wymaga wymiany oleju co 1000\u20132000 godzin, wymiany wk\u0142adu separatora co 2000 godzin i wymiany filtra oleju \u2014 obci\u0105\u017cenia konserwacyjne i zwi\u0105zane z nimi przestoje w przypadku jednostki bezolejowej s\u0105 zazwyczaj o 30\u201350% ni\u017csze w ci\u0105gu pi\u0119ciu lat. Wyeliminowanie zu\u017cytego oleju smarowego jako niebezpiecznego strumienia odpad\u00f3w upraszcza r\u00f3wnie\u017c zgodno\u015b\u0107 z przepisami dotycz\u0105cymi ochrony \u015brodowiska.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Jak obliczy\u0107 nat\u0119\u017cenie przep\u0142ywu spr\u0119\u017conego powietrza i ci\u015bnienie wymagane dla konkretnej maszyny flotacyjnej w moim zak\u0142adzie przetw\u00f3rstwa minera\u0142\u00f3w?<\/h3>\n

Obliczenia zapotrzebowania na powietrze do flotacji rozpoczynaj\u0105 si\u0119 od okre\u015blonego przez producenta nat\u0119\u017cenia przep\u0142ywu powietrza na kom\u00f3rk\u0119 \u2014 zazwyczaj wyra\u017conego w m\u00b3\/min przy ci\u015bnieniu wlotowym be\u0142kotki. Zsumuj zapotrzebowanie we wszystkich jednocze\u015bnie pracuj\u0105cych kom\u00f3rkach (szorstkich, zmiataczy, czyszcz\u0105cych), aby uzyska\u0107 ca\u0142kowite zapotrzebowanie procesu. Dodaj od 15 do 20% na tarcie rur i straty na zaworach w sieci dystrybucyjnej. Dodaj dodatkowy margines operacyjny 10% na przysz\u0142\u0105 rozbudow\u0119 uk\u0142adu lub zwi\u0119kszony dop\u0142yw powietrza podczas trudnych kampanii wydobywczych rudy. Wynik to minimalna wydajno\u015b\u0107 spr\u0119\u017carki (FAD) przy ci\u015bnieniu znamionowym. W przypadku ci\u015bnienia ustaw moc spr\u0119\u017carki na ci\u015bnienie wlotowe be\u0142kotki plus spadek ci\u015bnienia w uk\u0142adzie dystrybucji (zwykle od 0,1 do 0,3 bara) plus zapas mocy regulatora 10%.
