What are the technical parameters and advantages of sludge thickener?

The technical parameters of the sludge thickener include the upper and middle limit particle sedimentation rate of overflow, the area of the sludge thickener, the treatment capacity per unit area of the sludge thickener, etc. it can reduce the capital investment and land occupation and reduce the burden of subsequent treatment. The following describes the "technical parameters and advantages of the sludge thickener".

1、 Technical parameters of sludge thickener

1. Upper limit particle settling velocity in overflow: the process of ore particle settling in concentration tank is very complex, and there is no accurate calculation method at present. The factors affecting the settling velocity of ore particles are density, particle size, shape and surface properties of ore particles.

2. Sludge thickener area: in the actual work of design and production, the thickener area required for thickening operation is generally calculated by the sedimentation rate of upper limit particles in overflow.

3. Treatment capacity per unit area of sludge thickener: the treatment capacity per unit area of sludge thickener is generally selected according to industrial or simulation tests. If there is no test data, it can be selected with reference to the actual production index of similar concentrators.

4. Depth of sludge thickener: the depth of the thickener depends on the height of each area through which the slurry passes during the thickening process. It is necessary to add the height of the clarification area, the height of the free settlement area, the height of the compression area and the height of the scraper movement area of the thickener to obtain its depth.

2、 Advantages of sludge thickener

1. Reduce infrastructure investment and land occupation

2. Reduce odor and phosphorus emissions

3. Reduce the burden of subsequent treatment

4. Increase the capacity of sludge dewatering or deep dewatering equipment
