Feed, inventory, clarification and discharge as parts of one process.

Feed is one of the main disturbances affecting a thickener. It does not change only in flow rate or solids concentration. Particle-size distribution, material composition, water chemistry and settling response can…
Thickening 3 min
A thickener receives slurry, promotes separation between solids and water, removes clarified water through the overflow and discharges a more concentrated slurry through the underflow. Its response depends on how…
Thickening 3 min
Torque rises when the rakes encounter more resistance while moving material. Bed level can contribute, but it is not the only cause. Solids concentration and compaction, rheological behaviour, feed settleability,…
