As A Graduate Chemical Engineer At A Minerals Processing You Have Been Tasked With Improving The Tailings Circuit By Mon 1 (34.33 KiB) Viewed 22 times

As a graduate chemical engineer at a minerals processing you have been tasked with improving the tailings circuit by monitoring the flowrate of thickener underflow. This fits with an overarching plan to upgrade the pumps from ON/OFF to variable speed to better match capacity throughout the plant. The thickener underflow has a nominal flow of 50m3/hour and a solids content of 25%. Solids are expected to be less than -0.15mm. Provide a short report (no more than 3 pages) containing the following: a. Conduct a brief survey of the available sensor technologies for measuring fluid flow rate for the given conditions and determine the best suited to the task, detailing those considered and reasons for suitability (or not). b. Select the appropriate sensor unit (justifying the choice), detailing the relevant features.
