Air feed rates are related to sparger design and will increase with the number of orifices and orifice size used in the construction of the sparger arms and the shell-based air release points. Operating pressures of the air delivery system are important as it determines, along with air flow rate, the power required for the compression step.

The improved gas sparger system is a pressurized mixing chamber (bubble generator) equipped with a gas injection mechanism that can be used to control bubble size from less than 0.2 mm to 4 mm average bubble diameter with surfactant dosages of less than 13 ppm. It is the first external bubble generation device that allows control of bubble …

The flotation columns could not be operated at a shallower froth depth due to a design restriction. The wash water flowrate was evaluated in an identical manner as was pulp level. The range of wash water flowrates evaluated was from 0.0 L/min to 605 L/min (160 GPM) for each cell, or from a bias of 0.85 to 1.25.

Sparging is the rinsing of the mash grain bed to extract as much of the sugars from the grain as possible without extracting puckering tannins from the process. Typically, 1.5 times as much water is used for sparging as for mashing (e.g., 8 lbs. malt at 2 qt./lb. The temperature of the sparge water is important.
