More Information
Summary:Dilution check valves, pumps, systems, and methods of use, useful for dilution of incoming feed into a feedwell or feed system that can be easily installed and removed on solid/liquid separation units. The feed dilution apparatuses or systems can be installed in a single location or in multiple locations around a feedwell, transferring supernatant drawn from single or multiple locations within a solid/liquid separation tank. Optionally, an in-line turbine style pump and/or downward draft configuration can be used to provide efficient pumping and accurate adjustment of volume by increasing or decreasing rotation speed. The feed dilution pumps can optionally be installed using a quick fit system that allows removal and replacement during operation without the need for mobile cranes or heavy lifting equipment.
