HiFlo™ High Rate Thickeners / Clarifiers

PHOENIX HiFlo™ High Rate Thickeners clarify wash plant effluent water while thickening the slurry to 40-45% solids, greatly reducing the underflow slurry rate to the slurry pond. PHOENIX Thickeners use sedimentation technology to maximize the water recovery rate, providing clarified overflow water that can be recycled and reused in the process. HiFlo™ High Rate Thickeners / Clarifiers provide rapid liquid-solid separation of high flow rates with optimum flocculation and adapts to process fluctuations.

HiFlo™ Thickeners are available in several standard sizes & custom configurations including bolt-together tank, flat bottom, elevated tank, rake lift, and embeeded stave.

For complete elimination of the slurry pond, a PHOENIX Belt Filter Press or Filter Press may be added downstream of the HiFlo™ Thickener to dewater the thickened slurry.

Features & Benefits

Thickener design clarifies water while thickening slurry from wash plants
High underflow solids for reduced or eliminated slurry pond storage area
Overflow launder channels clarified water back for reuse in the process
Slurry deareation tank provides laminar flow of multiple product streams
Self-diluting feedwell enhances liquid-solid separation and provides a consistent feed density
Robust rakes aid in compaction while moving solids to the discharge cone
Fully electric, low horsepower drive eliminates risk of hydraulic oil contamination, and ensures efficiency and reliable operation
Bolt-together tank design provides easier/quicker plant erection
Underflow flush lines help minimize line plugging
