Frequently Asked Questions

Bed level and density measurement improve separation control, maximize water recovery, and support stable thickener underflow performance. 

Flow and density measurements improve slurry control, reduce process interruptions, and help maintain reliable tailings thickening and dewatering performance.

Condition monitoring helps mining plants detect wear earlier, reduce unplanned downtime, improve maintenance planning, extend equipment life, and protect throughput across critical process and dewatering assets.

Micro Motion Coriolis meters help operators accurately measure and control chemical additions into thickener processes, supporting safer and more efficient dewatering performance. By ensuring the right amount of chemical is added — not too much and not too little — mining operations can improve process stability, reduce chemical waste, protect downstream equipment, and support environmental compliance.

Slurry magnetic flow meters help mining operators accurately measure slurry inflow and outflow in thickener operations, giving teams better visibility into process balance, underflow control, and water recovery. By tracking slurry movement in real time, operators can detect flow instability, prevent overloading or underfeeding the thickener, reduce downtime, and improve overall dewatering efficiency. This visibility also supports safer operation, better tailings management, and more consistent environmental compliance.
