FLT · Solid-process module
Adds optional upstream beneficiation when representative testwork supports flotation and a selected OEM package has a defined concentrate and tailings duty.
Module function
The functional boundary is explicit so a module is never treated as a universal process claim.
How the module works
Each step names both the physical function and the evidence required before the next handover.
Representative sample and flotation test record.
Feed state and reagent basis accepted.
OEM operating state and stream identity confirmed.
Utility receiver ready and route proven.
Residual ownership and available capacity confirmed.
Stream schedule
A stream is not released merely because the equipment can move it. Its state, route and receiving boundary must be accepted.
| Stream | Direction | Physical handover | Acceptance / release basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Qualified slurry | Inlet | Prepared slurry source → selected flotation package | Composition, liberation, PSD, pulp density, flow and reagent basis accepted. |
| Wet concentrate | Product / intermediate | Flotation → Utility | Utility wet-feed receiver and transfer route verified. |
| Tailings | Residual | Flotation → named tailings receiver | Receiver, capacity, containment and monitoring defined. |
| Off-spec / flush | Off-spec | Flotation → hold, recycle or residual receiver | No implicit transfer to AFCM or reaction. |
Published datasheet
Unsupported values are never guessed. The table states either the current public definition or exactly how the value is established.
| Specification field | Current definition | Evidence basis |
|---|---|---|
| Product code | FLT | Fixed architecture |
| Product family | Solid-process module | Fixed architecture |
| Typical process position | Optional upstream; no direct wet transfer to AFCM-10 | Fixed architecture |
| Process technology | Selected OEM flotation package around the qualified duty. | Configuration option |
| Feed rate | Established from confirmed project flow and representative flotation testwork. | Project-specific |
| Feed state | Qualified slurry; dry feed and wet concentrate are not interchangeable interfaces. | Fixed architecture |
| Reagent regime | Selected from testwork and materials / safety review. | Project-specific |
| Utilities | Power, air, water and services follow selected OEM package and site integration. | Project-specific |
| Materials | Defined from slurry chemistry, abrasion, corrosion and cleaning basis. | Project-specific |
| Controls | Package status, permissives, route feedback and handover signals integrated with local control. | Project-specific |
| Performance | Grade, recovery and availability require representative testwork and OEM guarantee basis. | Not publicly released |
Interface schedule
Process, utility, residual and control handovers are listed separately so responsibility is visible.
| Interface | Class | Handover | Acceptance evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Process inlet | Slurry | Qualified prepared slurry | Feed and package inlet basis released. |
| Process outlet | Wet concentrate | To Utility, never directly to dry-only AFCM | Wet route and Utility receiver proven. |
| Residual | Tailings | To named tailings receiver | Ownership and capacity confirmed. |
| Automation | Package interface | State, permissive, alarm and route signals | Cause/effect and responsibility released. |
Operating envelope
The system envelope, Kit or chemistry limits, installed module configuration, project evidence and receiver criteria all apply. The narrowest valid limit governs.
| Envelope layer | Governing rule | Checks before release |
|---|---|---|
| System | Must remain within the accepted Adapt process and site interface envelope. | Temperature, chemistry, solids, transport and containment. |
| OEM | Selected equipment retains its approved feed and operating limits. | Flow, pulp density, particle size, reagents and air duty. |
| Project | Representative testwork defines the usable duty. | Mineralogy, liberation, variability, grade and recovery basis. |
| Receiver | Both concentrate and tailings require named receivers. | Quality, flow, capacity and off-spec route. |
Safety, cleaning and lifecycle
Safe state, cleaning, maintainability and evidence gates are part of the technical definition, not afterthoughts.
