Maximizing mineral recovery: Why stability is the foundation of flotation performance

Flotation performance has a direct impact on recovery, concentrate quality and overall plant profitability. As ore grades decline and process demands increase, maintaining stable operating conditions becomes more important than ever. This article explores the key factors behind flotation performance and how flow control, valve sizing, diagnostics and lifecycle support contribute to stable and efficient mineral recovery.

Reducing noise, vibration and risk in pipeline operations

Noise, vibration, and cavitation can have a significant impact on pipeline reliability, equipment lifetime, and maintenance costs. By minimizing these flow-related challenges, operators can improve process performance, increase uptime, and protect critical assets. Discover how Neles™ quarter-turn control valves with Neles Q-Trim™ technology help reduce operational risk through advanced pressure and flow control, enabling safer, more efficient, and more reliable pipeline operations.

Neles™ Neldisc™ L6 series: A promise of more reliability

What does reliability really mean in demanding industrial applications? The Neles Neldisc L6 series ASME Class 600 triple offset butterfly valve combines true metal-to-metal sealing, high process uptime and long-term performance to deliver reliable operation throughout its lifecycle.

Improve flotation performance with intelligent valve control

Learn how intelligent valve control helps mining operations improve flotation stability, increase recovery, reduce variability, and enable predictive maintenance. Learn how advanced valve diagnostics, precise valve positioning, and condition monitoring support flotation performance, process optimization, and operational reliability in mineral processing applications.

The power of an OEM valve specialist

As industrial plants face growing pressure to maintain safe, reliable, and cost-effective operations with limited resources, onsite valve expertise can make a significant difference. This article explores how a Valmet resident technician supports customers with OEM-level knowledge, proactive maintenance planning, spare parts optimization, shutdown preparation, and actionable reporting. By working as an extension of the customer’s maintenance team, the resident technician helps move valve maintenance from reactive troubleshooting toward long-term reliability and performance improvement.

Strengthening safety and reliability through fuel gas valve modernization

In refinery operations, safety‑related fuel gas services play a critical role in protecting people, assets, and the environment. Maintaining the integrity and performance of these systems requires equipment that is not only reliable but also designed to meet evolving safety expectations. For one North American refinery, a long‑term modernization program has focused on upgrading safety‑critical valves across the site.

Enhancing boiler efficiency with a damper drive retrofit

Gas facility boosted boiler efficiency and reliability by replacing manual dampers with a Neles Easyflow™ retrofit, enabling airflow combustion control and lower workload.

Revolutionizing control valve management with Edge AI

Edge computing combined with AI‑powered analytics is transforming control valve management by enabling continuous, cost‑effective monitoring of large valve fleets. By processing data directly at the valve and delivering actionable insights through cloud‑based analysis, plants can move from reactive maintenance to data‑driven, prioritized decision‑making. This approach helps maximize performance, improve reliability, and support more efficient use of maintenance resources.

Turning data into better valve performance with digital services

Flow control digital services help customers turn valve data into actionable insights that improve reliability, availability, and maintenance efficiency. Built around Valve Performance Monitoring (VPM), the offering combines smart valve diagnostics, AI‑assisted analysis via ValvesNow, and expert support delivered through the Valmet Customer Portal. By providing a clear, prioritized view of valve performance across the installed base, customers gain better visibility into emerging issues, can focus maintenance where it matters most, and make more informed decisions on operations, spare parts, and lifecycle management—ultimately reducing downtime, extending asset life, and supporting more proactive ways of working.
