CLARIFIER OR THICKENER

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.

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.

CLARIFIER OR THICKENER
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:

  1.  Mining and Mineral Processing

  2. Wastewater Treatment

  3. Chemical and Petrochemical Industries

  4. Food and Beverage Industry

  5. Pulp and Paper Industry

  6. Power Generation

  7. Construction and Industrial Materials

  8. Environmental Remediation

  9. Oil and Gas Industry

  10. Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnology
