PID Parameter Tuning for Flotation Tank Level Control: A Case Study

Introduction In mineral processing plants, flotation tanks are large vessels where slurry and froth separation takes place. At first glance, the control of liquid level in such large tanks seems to require long filling times and correspondingly large PID integral times. However, this intuitive assumption may lead to incorrect parameter settings. This document presents a […]
