Precise measurement & controls for efficient clarifiers and thickeners

Precise measurement & controls for efficient clarifiers and thickeners:

Knowing exactly how efficiently your clarifier or thickener works, is a challenge faced by many in the industry. To accurately control the efficiency of your equipment, you need to know the level of your sludge bed to not overload your rake, control flocculant dosing by monitoring the suspended solids level in your overflow and know the density of your sludge is vital to ensure good binding and not wasting money and resources by overdosing flocculant. 

Morton Controls has a holistic and complete solution for accurate Clarifier/Thickener control: 

1. Sludge Bed Level Monitoring
2. Overflow Solids Monitoring 
3. Sludge Density Monitoring

 

Sludge Bed Level Monitoring:

The multifunctional technologies NivoBob® NB 3300 in rope version and NB 3400 as tape version are specially modified plumb line systems of UWT for interface measurements. 

– Suitable for the continuous level measurement of sludges and solids in liquids

– Continuously reliable measurement results

– Flange mounting

– Measuring range up to 30m

– Version with improved corrosion resistance for chemical and salt applications

– Sensitivity adaptable depending on sediment density

An extra PA coating of the stainless steel cable also allows installation in very corrosive materials. To avoid slippage, the cable or tape pulley is provided with a further special rubber coating. Due to the individual fine adjustment of the sensor weight in the rope version, whereby this is exactly adjusted to the sludge layer, high precision of the measurements can be achieved with the NB 3300. Integrated metal disks in the PVC sensor weight also allow individual adjustment of the sensitivity and even allow interface measurement in very light sludge.

 

Overflow Solids Monitoring:

The Quadbeam Range of Suspended Solids and Turbidity Instruments,  allows you to control flocculant dosing, monitor clarifier overflow, monitor filter breakthrough, and monitor tank profile. This is an ideal solution for mining companies wishing to better control their thickener/clarifiers and save money on material, improve efficiency and overall performance

Features: 

• 10 Point product specific calibration
• Built-in alarm system
• 4-20mA transmission with digital inputs and outputs
• Very low maintenance and cost-effective
• High accuracy and repeatability.

Sludge Density Monitoring:

For Thickeners in the mineral industry, knowing the concentration of your sludge bed is vital to ensure the efficient operation of your Thickener. 

Through the Harrer Kassen Microwave Technology, we can accurately measure the solids content of high-concentration mining slurries in Thickener underflows, ensuring that maximum yield is always achieved. 

Highly accurate, and repeatability is what the HK Range of Microwave Instrumentation offers, making it the perfect fit for a complete mining thickener and clarifier solution.
