UltraCLEAR DCT - Paste (Deep Cone) Thickener

Paste Thickeners can help producers eliminate the need for settling ponds and other structures. They are meant to achieve the highest solids concentrations possible through gravity separation. The resulting mud, described as a paste, is often so thick that it becomes non-segregating — no further separation of water and solids can be achieved. As a guide, a paste material is measured with a Yield Stress of >150 Pa. Pastes are then moved to impoundment structures via positive displacement pumps.
