The design and commissioning of a laboratory thickener test plant for measurement and control investigations

This thesis discusses the design, construction, and commissioning of a laboratory scale thickener test plant to carry out measurement and control tests under controlled conditions. The laboratory scale thickener simulates the settiling conditions found in full scale high compression thickeners. A review of thickener technology, applicable measurements and control strategies was carried out.
