Pilot scale thickener used for laboratory of on-site test work to generate design data for thickener sizing and optimisation including flocculant type selection, flocculant dose determination and feed-well dilution requirements. Further mud bed consolidation behaviour of the material in the thickener is investigated to determine thickener residence time and estimates of underflow density and overflow clarity.

World-class laboratory facilities and mobile equipment

Mobile paste thickener plant for on-site test work to generate design data for thickener sizing and specification of greenfield projects or the optimisation of thickeners for brown field projects.
