PE&C can enhance your stand-alone thickener or CCD circuit by reviewing and benchmarking key design and performance parameters. Areas assessed typically include:
- Slurry feed systems
- Flocculant selection, make-up and dosing
- Rake design and rake drive features
- Key instrumentation and control systems
A counter-current decanter (CCD) is crucial for red mud washing in alumina refineries and is also used in hydrometallurgical processes. By analyzing and optimizing your CCD circuit, PE&C helps improve performance metrics like condensate and caustic liquor consumption.
