PRESS RELEASE
FLSmidth & Co. A/S
13 May 2025, Copenhagen, Denmark
A progressive Indian miner and steelmaker has selected FLS to supply a full flotation technology package for what is set to become one of the world's largest, most efficient and sustainable iron ore beneficiation plants globally. The plant will be fed with domestic, low grade iron ore where the FLS flotation system will upgrade it to a final product that will be amongst the purest and highest-grade iron ore available anywhere in the world.
FLS conducted extensive laboratory and on-site pilot testing to design a beneficiation flowsheet that assures the highest metallurgical performance and availability, while allowing for operational flexibility. Several novel and conventional flotation technologies were evaluated leading to the selection of FLS nextSTEP flotation cells. This circuit will be equipped with mechanical and process condition monitoring with advanced process control and the full system includes KREBS millMAX pumps for froth and slurry transport.
This is the third consecutive order that FLS has received from the customer within the last six months, as the iron ore fed to the flotation plant will come from 18 of the world's largest vertical tower mills, which the customer ordered from FLS in Q1 2025. These will operate directly downstream from two of the world's largest high-pressure grinding rolls.
