1.0 OBJETIVO
Estabelecer os requisitos técnicos, as informações gerais e as instruções para o fornecimento de *** medidor analítico de velocidade do material flotado *** por análise de imagem a ser utilizado nas instalações da [Empresa]

O sistema consiste câmeras e equipamentos de iluminação, instalados acima das colunas e células de flotação, e conectados a um ou mais computadores, que analisam as imagens provenientes das câmeras de forma on-line, via software.

O medidor analítico de velocidade do material flotado por análise de imagem deve fornecer informação em tempo real da velocidade do material flotado em colunas e células de flotação. Caso esteja expresso na folha de dados, deverão ser disponibilizadas análises de variáveis complementares, como tamanho de bolha, estabilidade e cor da espuma. O medidor deverá fornecer dados estatísticos relacionados às análises

O que está 'pegando' é o "analítico".

froth flow analyzer / flow analyzer for flotation cells


Explanation:
Material flotado = froth

This slurry (more properly called the pulp) of hydrophobic particles and hydrophilic particles is then introduced to tanks known as flotation cells that are aerated to produce bubbles. The hydrophobic particles attach to the air bubbles, which rise to the surface, forming a froth. The froth is removed from the cell, producing a concentrate ("con") of the target mineral.

I could not find an image-based flow analyzer, but found an acoustic flow analyzer:
