Overcoming Technical Barriers with Disruptive Technologies Developed through Industrial Collaboration
Speakers: Michael J. Mankosa and Jaisen N. Kohmuench, Eriez, Erie, PA
Summary: Over the past two decades, Eriez has successfully developed several new flotation technologies. Driven by industry-defined needs, Eriez has collaborated with key commercial partners in the sulfide and industrial minerals sectors to address shortcomings of current technologies. The success of both HydroFloat and StackCell resides in the willingness of industrial partners to collaborate with equipment developers and share information to create new technologies to address industry needs. This presentation will review the past two decades of development by Eriez showing how industrial partnership truly results in a one-plus-one equals three outcome.
