WORKING PRINCIPLE
A thickener and a clarifier are both types of equipment used in solid-liquid separation processes, commonly in industries like mining, wastewater treatment, chemical processing, and food production.
Common Features
Both use gravity settling as the primary separation mechanism.
Often employ flocculants or coagulants to enhance particle aggregation and settling.
Can be designed as circular or rectangular units.
May include mechanisms like rakes, scrapers, or pickets to aid in solids collection and remova

MAIN DESIGN FEATURES
Thickeners and clarifiers are both used to separate solids and liquid, Thickeners focus on the settled solids, and clarifiers focus on the clear overflow liquor.

PROCESS
The thickener process principle is based on gravity sedimentation, where solid particles in a slurry settle to the bottom of a tank due to gravity, while clarified liquid overflows from the top. Thickeners are designed to increase the concentration of solids in a slurry by separating the solid and liquid phases.
INDUSTRY
Thickeners are widely used across various industries for solid-liquid separation, particularly to increase the concentration of solids in a slurry. Here are the key application fields for thickeners:
Mining and Mineral Processing
Wastewater Treatment
Chemical and Petrochemical Industries
Food and Beverage Industry
Pulp and Paper Industry
Power Generation
Construction and Industrial Materials
Environmental Remediation
Oil and Gas Industry
Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnology
