Increasing the effectiveness of process control and minimizing negative environmental effects.
Polymer dosage is controlled in relation to suspended solids load based on the solids content of the centrifuge reject water. It is thus possible to obtain a better degree of separation and minimize the internal circulation of suspended solids.
