Techincal guide: Thickeners

Does (thickener) size matter?

Settling effluent from a washing process naturally in a lagoon or pond takes a lot of time and involves high costs maintaining those ponds.

In this technical guide we describe how particles generally fall through a fluid and explain the main types of thickeners.

As a bonus, we also provide the spreadsheet that can help you to calculate the size of a high-rate thickener.
