Process flow
The sequence as it runs on site.
- 01ScreeningRemove coarse solids before the slurry enters the separation circuit.
- 02DesandingRecover the sand fraction with hydrocyclones and a sand screw.
- 03ConditioningDose flocculant and mix so the fines can be filtered.
- 04Filter pressDewater the conditioned slurry in the filter press.
- 05Water recoveryReturn clear filtrate to the slurry circuit.
