Clarometer Overview
FLOCCULENT CONTROL
Clarometer installation on a typical coal thickener.
The CLAROMETER provides automatic flocculent control by continually monitoring the slurry infeed to a thickener. A repesentative sample is captured from the centre well. With the intake complete the sample will start to settle.
The time taken for the sample to settle is measured. By comparing the measured time with a preset reference time, it is possible to accurately control flocculent dosing. Through two separate algorithms this measurement allows control of both the anionic and cationic pumps.
The reliability of our units in very harsh environments is enhanced by our patented method of holding the sample which has no moving parts.
The main advantage of automatic flocculent control is the considerable reduction in flocculent usage. Additional benefits are the contribution to thickener stability by assisting in the reduction of bed level and bed density variations.
