Define the material and project duty
This is a conceptual sand and slurry-handling process from the existing catalogue. It separates a recovered-sand route from a fine-slurry filtration branch. It is not evidence of metal recovery, saleable-product compliance or a completed customer project.
This is a conceptual process-planning route. Equipment sizes, capacity and final product quality have not been assigned to a specific site.
Process stages to review
- SumpDefine incoming slurry collection and the process boundary.
- Slurry mixingReview the mixing duty for the supplied slurry.
- Cyclone recoveryIdentify the fine fraction proposed for cyclone recovery.
- Dewatering screenDefine the recovered material and dewatering requirement.
- Recovered sandSet the handling and destination of the recovered sand.
Fine slurry enters a filter-press branch; filtrate reuse depends on water quality.
Information needed for selection
| Project input | Information to provide | Scope to review |
|---|---|---|
| Slurry feed | Flow, solids concentration and changes during operation. | Sump, mixing and recovery duty. |
| Particle sizes | Representative particle-size distribution and material analysis. | The fraction proposed for recovery and any required test work. |
| Recovered material | Intended use, required grading and moisture target. | Whether the recovery route meets the proposed product requirement. |
| Fine-slurry branch | Filtration test results if available, cake requirements and disposal or handling route. | Filter-press branch and cake handling. |
| Return water | Water-quality requirements, available storage and proposed reuse location. | Whether and where the return water can be reused. |
Equipment and supply scope
The catalogue route lists an agitation tank, fine-sand recovery equipment, a dewatering screen and a filter press. Define the tanks, pumps, piping, controls and cake-handling interfaces separately. For a modification project, include the existing water circuit and equipment connections.
Prepare the enquiry
- Water flow and solids concentration
- Fine-particle distribution
- Cake requirements and return-water quality
Send the material, operating duty and supply scope for this process.
