GRAVITY THICKENER
Mar 02, 2014 · GRAVITY THICKENER (SEDIMENTATION) Gravity thickener is essentially a sedimentation process similar to the process that occurs in all settling tanks. It is the most common process currently used for dewatering and for the concentration of sludge before digestion. It is accomplished in a sedimentation tank in which solids separate from liquid ...

Thickener optimization
Thickening is the separation of suspended particles from a liquid by gravity settling and A thickener is a machine that dewaters slurry, separating the liquid from the solids. In fact, most mineralrefining processes go through a solidliquid separation in a thickener at some point in their processing.

Thickener Operation
Jan 26, 2015 · Higher flocculant dosages, within a normal dosage rate range, will result in higher % solids. The % solids is typically limited by the thickener's ability to transfer mud from the thickener and pumping the underflow because viscosity and slurry density increases dramatically with increasing % .
