Tailings from coal washing plants; Recycled water from aggregate washing . The Thickener Components. As mentioned previously most of the high-rate thickeners subassemblies are similar to those of conventional thickeners except for lifting devices that are not available on all units due to design restrictions.
High Rate Thickeners High rate thickeners are designed specifically to maximise the flocculation efficiency of flocculants. They differ from conventional thickeners in feed well design, size and control. Unlike conventional thickeners, high rate thickeners must use flocculants. The basic design of a high rate thickener is below.
White paper: Debottlenecking of Thickeners in a Changing Environment 2 In assessing the decision to modernize, we consider the elements of an upgrade and the advances in thickening technology that allow operators to meet new challenges. Finally, we will discuss the process of modernizing a thickener so as to achieve the client’s stated outcomes.
Say, we have a coal tailings application and testwork shows a rise rate of 2 m/h with a pulp feed flow rate of 200 m. 3 /h. A factor (Z‐Factor) is used based Therefore for a 12m diameter high rate thickener with the coal tailings duty, we can use medium duty (K‐Factor of 15)
High-capacity stockpiles are commonly reclaimed using bucket-wheel reclaimers. These can achieve very high rates pagal Sampling. Sampling of coal is an important part of the process control in the A grab sample is a one-off sample of the coal at a point in the process stream, and tends not to be very representative.

ers. Hence, for a given sluny rate, selection of a high Plint of the thickener. Much higher handling rate, tnd lower capital cost are obvious advantages of high lents and the concems of operational cost, especially keep some engineers selecting conventional thickeners. Forty years after the first high capacity 363 ICKENERS, A BETTER CHOICE TO MAKE
Thickeners. Thickeners — or Clarifiers, depending on the application — can be used to recover immediately reusable process water, as well as extract fines and other materials. Thickeners can be used by mineral and aggregate producers, as well as by environmental contractors in industries such as wastewater management.
Understanding the Thickening Process B.J. Gladman, et al 100 have been observed for selected materials in high rate thickeners. Whilst these (φ) and the hindered settling factor
LETTER FROM AUSTRALIA Why high-rate thickeners are now preferred by the gold industry by Allan Waters BHP Research & New Technology, Shortland, NSW High-rate thickeners have shown themselves to be more cost-effective than conventional thickeners in recovering water and cyanide in gold mines, and other mineral processing plants.
Care needs to be taken with the nomenclature of conventional or high rate thickeners. The critical difference is the use of feed dilution and flocculation in high rate thickeners over conventional thickeners; however, the high rate thickener has become so ubiquitous in the mining industry it has become the ‘conventional’ choice.
Conventional Thickeners are generally incorporated in heavy duty applications when the underflow density is high and substantial torques are required to convey the settled solids from the periphery to the central outlet for pumping away.
HiFlo™ High-rate Thickeners Overview: WesTech HiFlo™ high-rate thickeners are used in many types of process circuits to separate liquids and solids at very high rates. They are highly effective in coal refuse thickening, gold recovery, CCD circuits, copper leaching, molybdenum processing and other mining and chemical flowsheets.
Beginners Guide to Thickeners; Beginners Guide to Thickeners. Thickening is a process where a slurry or solid-liquid mixture is separated to a dense slurry containing most of the solids and an overflow of essentially clear water (or liquor in leaching processes).
Both high-rate thickeners and dewatering centrifuges are used in the application of dewatering coal tailings. Both applications are well advanced and accepted as means to dewater coal. This paper compares a high-rate thickener to a solid bowl centrifuge with respect to numerous process, mechanical, electrical,
In underground mining, the WesTech Deep Bed™ Paste Thickener is an emerging option to the conventional solution of high-rate thickener/vacuum filter for paste backfill applications. There can be a number of factors which make paste thickening an attractive alternative.
The Delkor Paste Thickener takes all the knowledge and experience of over 30 years providing thickeners Shear Thinning System Available Flocculant dosing is controlled by means of a bed level detection device Conventional, High Rate, High Density, Ultrasep and Paste Thickeners treat a variety of materials in a »More detailed
Paste and high rate thickening are emerging as a significant way to maximise water efficiency in Australia’s coal industry. Outotec has designed and installed the first-ever paste thickener in Australia’s coal industry and has won five further orders recently for paste and high rate thickeners.
In Table I of the July article, "improve Clarifier and Thickener Design and Operation," by Joel Christian (pp. 50-56), the titles Vi and TSS are reversed. The first TSS is 3.1 and the first Vi is 6.045. In the overloaded case on p. 55, the underflow c oncentration should be 240 kg/m 3, not 140. Also, the dashed line in Figure 9 is not used in

Optimized thickeners in coal preparation plants Using optimized thickeners for level measurement applications in a coal mind can yield safer and more efficient plant control. Level measurement equipment is part of almost every process in a coal mine. You hardly see the
Most thickeners operate with all three regimes present certainly in any high rate thickener where feed dilution is used. One of the regimes will be the ‘rate determining step’ and this, together with the requirements of the process performance, will be the factor that determines the size and design of the equipment. 16.2.2.
MIP Thickener Design The following is a short cut to designing your own thickener: (a) Size of Thickener As a first stab we can either use the thickener flux (m2/tpd) or the rise rate, depending if solids loading is the dominant (eg.
Thickeners McLanahan . Most (but not all) incorporate a low profile rake design with or without dewatering pickets. A modern feedwell design based on computational fluid dynamics modeling ensures minimal flocculant usage, and the rake drive is powered either by a hydraulic power pack or direct coupled electromechanical gearbox.
