Clarometer PC
DEWATERING AND TAILINGS TREATMENT
CLAROMETER PC: Control Panel and Sampler.
CLAROMETER PC: Polymer Controller
The Clarometer PC automates the polymer addition to mechanical dewatering systems such as belt press filters and centrifuges, used in the processing of coal tailings and sand. Similarly, belt press filters used in the production of paper, also require polymer control. Currently, polymer control to these devices is most often done manually.
A sample from the tailings line is fed into the Clarometer PC where the chemical reaction is examined. This is a new and original technique, with the measurement referred to as Sample Scatter. The sample is returned to the process, and the sample line flushed after each operation.
Through this online analysis, the Clarometer PC is able to make automatic incremental adjustments to the polymer pumps, which optimises dosing and so provides both stable feed and reduced polymer usage, resulting in considerable cost and labour savings.
The CLAROMETER PC has been designed, developed and patented by Oscillation.
