    This document discusses principles and equations relevant to thickener and classifier design. It describes how batch settling data is used to determine a thickener's cross-sectional area, though batch tests do not perfectly simulate continuous thickener settling characteristics. The document also notes that batch settling is tested in a cylinder, with the system defined by zones and settled solids replaced by equal volumes of suspending fluid.

    Principles and Relevant Equations

    Designing Thickener and Classifier

    The dimensions which are commonly specified in thickener design are its cross-sectional

    area and depth. Batch settling data is used for determining the cross-sectional area; however,

    tests used in generating this data are not perfect simulation of the settling characteristic in a

    continuous thickener. Batch settling test is performed in a cylinder. Net volume is not being

    specified, instead the system is defined by zones. In gravity settling, solids which settle out of a

    zone are replaced with equal volume of suspending fluid.
