CEC - Thickeners

• Concentration, or raising the density, of a mixture of solids and liquids;
• Clarification, or recovering the overflow portion;
• Hydro-separation, where a specific fraction of solids is removed from a mixture;

• Tailings thickening for precious and base metals & minerals
• Treatment of coal slimes
• Gold tailings applications
• Counter current decantation
• Clarifications of pregnant liquor solutions
• Water treatment applications

CECMS can supply a variety of thickener sizes starting from 1 meter diameter pilot-scale units to 90 metres in diameter. We have standard “off-the-shelf” designs, and customized thickener tank, rakes and feedwell designs that are deployed based on the feed conditions and raking capacity. A retrofit service has also been offered to enhance the performance of existing thickeners and clarifiers.

• Delivery time – our modular approach to thickener sizing means that drawing packaged can be assembled quickly and manufacturing can begin almost immediately. We have industry leading turn-around times.
• Low capital cost – our equipment design is conservative yet robust enough to ensure the equipment can still be in operation many years from now.
• International project delivery – our project team is experience deploying installations in challenging jurisdictions. Project expediting and construction schedules are kept in line because of multi-lingual and multi-disciplinary teams.
• Canadian engineering/QA-QC standards – our engineering and design conform to the North American standards, but we’re able to leverage our network of manufacturers overseas to be competitive.

CECMS can supply a “bolted design” for many projects to expedite fabrication, shipping and installation on site.

• No construction works on site
• Simple and easy installation
• Easy to transport
• Easy to re-locate and/or re-purpose
• Low friction rake lift
