According to Frank Traczyk, Global Product Manager for Dorr-Oliver Eimco, "the success in the flotation market over the past few years is attributed to the ability to provide either aspirated or forced-air technology or a combination of the two. This allows us to provide the best technical solution for the customer."

In addition, the successful start up of the ten (10) 257-cubic meter cells at Los Pelambres in Chile has led to an additional order for 22 of the super large cells. The 257-cubic meter Wemco^® SmartCell^TM is the largest operating cell in the world.
