Thickener Underflow Isolation

Manage abrasive, high solids content slurries while separating tailings from reclaimed water.
Thickener Underflow Isolation

Maximize Water Reclamation With Reliable Underflow Isolation

Thickeners are designed to separate processed solids for recirculation and reprocessing, or for distribution to tailings. In the thickener unit, valuable water is extracted from the slurry to reuse in other parts of the mining operation. The remaining solids material becomes concentrated for more efficient transfer to the tailings storage facility (TSF).
