Hello to all.
Could anyone tell me any experience about controlling a thickener (minerals industry, tailings or concentrate) using turbidity measurements (or solids% measurements in the overflow)? In theory, this measurement could be used to modify the flocculant dosage (instead of using a ratio control: flocculant/mineral pulp) in order to optimize the agglomeration/sedimentation process and reduce the solids in the overflow. I believe there are some experiences using bed level measurement, but couldn't find anything about turbidity.
Thanks in advance!
