Turboflotservice (TFS) is a private research company set up in 1991 and a core partner of the Institute of Biocolloid Chemistry with the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. The company’s scope of research covers both the fundamental studies in the field of physico-chemical hydrodynamics of dispersed systems and applied research in such areas as technogenic suspensions separation, and treatment of industrial wastewaters. The company has put forward fundamentally new concepts for fine dispersed suspensions flotation and flocculation, which evolved in development of technologies and equipment used, for example, for the separation of waste lubricating/cooling fluids, and for finely dispersed minerals flotation. The company team has published over 50 research papers in the leading international periodicals, and designed and developed several research instruments and samples of new equipment used in the industry. The Company was also the partner in a number of scientific-research projects related to finely dispersed minerals enrichment sponsored by the government grants of Ukraine and Kazakhstan, and by the world leading companies such as Rio Tinto (Australia), Teck Cominco (Canada), Anglo Platinum (RSA), and El-Teniente (Chile). This cooperation promoted the development of innovative technologies, namely Ultraflocculation, Turbulent Microflotation, and Combined Microflotation, and the equipment for implementing these technologies in the industry.
