DÉCANTEUR

The thickener is an equipment which enable to recover distinctly a clarified water and a concentrated mud.

Slurry loaded with fine particles is injected in the thickener's feed well. Beforehand, a reagent is injected in the loaded slurry to accelerate the sedimentation. The floculated slurry is distributed uniformly by a cone and enter into contact with the slurry blanket. The decanted muds are orientated towards the center of the thickener by the scrappers. Clarified water is recycled by overflowing at the top of the thickener.

The high capacity thickener complete NEYRTEC MINERAL thickener's range. Their design enable to improve the performances with a reduced surface comparatively with the conventional systems.
 

Conventional thickeners' range has many advantages  :

In comparison with the conventional thickeners, the high capacity thickener has the following advantages :

 
NEYRTEC MINERAL has a laboratory in which settling tests are carried out enabling to size, at a further step, the most suitable settling solution.

 

The functions of the thickeners are :

Those equipments can process loaded waters of an installation. Those clarified waters are recycled in the process installation or can be rejected in their natural environment.
 

Thickeners are used to process loaded waters of installations with varied origins :
