Level Stabiliser is a model-based, feedforward scheme with stabilising Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller that allows the downstream flotation cells to pre-emptively react to a change in slurry volume that is being propagated through. This approach has the benefit that disturbances are mitigated in downstream flotation cells.
