Thickener Tanks and Clarifiers
High Flow Clarifiers/Thickeners
Our uniquely designed thickener tanks provide maximum underflow density capability of up to 70% w/w solids content and a maximum flow capacity of up to 7000 GPM. Our design effectively separates the settling, dewatering, and compaction functional volumes, eliminating the high torque conditions frequently experienced with traditional thickeners. The TPH HC-A clarifiers are not sensitive to oversize fractions and are not prone to plugging. These thickener tanks are completely prefabricated and can be erected in as little as one day.
- Flow capacity up to 7000 GPM in a single unit
- Modular design affords a practical solution to space utilization and operational redundancy
- Quick installation & low maintenance
- Clear reusable supernatant/effluent
- Significantly longer effective weir length, compared to conventional round tank designs, increases the effective settling solids loading rate.
- Precise underflow density control
- Completely automated operation, including our exclusive fiber optic-based flocculant dosage control system.
Traditional High Flow Thickeners
The TPH high flow rate thickeners embody the traditional approach of modern high flow rate thickener design, focusing primarily on significantly reducing the size of conventional thickener tanks. Our all-steel high-rate thickeners feature an elevated inclined floor fitted to a circular tank. They are equipped with a proprietary designed feed-well and feed velocity break-box, along with proven and reliable electro-mechanical center-driven mud rakes.
- Robust all-steel design
- Engineered for Tailings, Concentrates, and Counter Current Decantation (CCD) applications
- Traditional welded, fast-erect bolted, or Huck® bolted tank designs
- Integral proprietary designed self-diluting feed-well
- Efficient and reliable electro-mechanical rake drives
- Integral rake-lift mechanism and high torque cut-out protection circuit to avoid rake damage
- Integral proprietary closed loop flocculation control to optimize settling rates
- 20-year plus design life
Deep Cone Thickeners
The TPH Deep Cone Thickener is ideal for lower flow applications and portable wash plants. These thickener tanks achieve high density underflow solids and feature an integrated cyclone support structure.
This system automatically discharges the high-density underflow solids using an automated pneumatic pinch valve system.
Key features include:
- Flow capacity up to 2500 GPM in a single unit
- Up to 95% water recovery
- Quick installation
- Low maintenance
- High density underflow
- No internal moving parts
- Customer service before, during, and after the sale
