Abstract
Embodiments generally relate to froth measurement apparatus, and related methods and systems. An example apparatus comprises: an elongate first housing portion; and a series of sensor probes positioned along the first housing portion, each of the sensor probes having a probe body extending away from the first housing portion by a distance and comprising first and second electrodes for measuring changes in electrical potential associated with froth and/or bubbles. The sensor probes comprise signal processing circuitry coupled to the probe bodies to receive analog output signals from the probe bodies and to generate digital output signals based on the analog output signals. The apparatus comprises at least one processor configured to receive the digital output signals or sensor information based on the digital output signals and configured to determine at least one froth parameter over a sampling period based on the digital output signals or the sensor information.
