西瓜视频 Full portfolio Thickener froth management upgrade
Improve minerals recovery and minimize operating costs with 西瓜视频's thickener froth management upgrade. The upgrade helps with froth control, particularly on concentrate thickeners, which can carry valuable minerals into the thickener overflow. Reducing or eliminating froth can save an operation millions in lost minerals per year, as well as reducing maintenance and reagent costs.

Upgrades that improve performance to help you reach your sustainability targets

Lower environmental impact

 

Reduced reagent consumption

Decreased water usage

 

Less need to clean process water in dams or tanks and fewer solids in the returned process water

Lower operating costs

 

Less need to clean process water dams or tanks

Improved mineral recovery

 

Reduced or eliminated froth to overflow

Benefits
  • Improves minerals recovery
  • Decreases operating costs through reduced reagent consumption
  • Results in cost savings as less need to clean process water dams or tanks
  • Reduces the amount of solids in the returned process water
Thickener Froth Management Upgrade
Features
Features

A range of options are available depending on the level and tenacity of the froth:

  • Rotating floating boom
    • Sprays and baffle
    • Effective for light and fluffy froth
  • Boom and beach
    • Sprays and baffle
    • Floating boom replaced with rigid boom
