Washing, dewatering and water recovery
Washing and dewatering requirements depend on clay and fines content, product requirements and water availability. Equipment selection should consider product quality together with water and fines management.
Equipment selection
- Review feed and fines
- Select washing and dewatering stages
- Review the water and sludge circuit
Sand washers, hydrocyclones, dewatering screens and thickeners are among the options in the company catalogue. Selection and sizing require feed information and process assessment; recovery percentages or water-consumption figures cannot be specified without that review.
