Shorten lead times with this high-rate thickener

| By Gerald Ondrey

This company is launching a pre-engineered high-rate thickening solution, The HRT-S (photo) is a pre-engineered, high-rate thickener that will allow significantly shorter delivery times. The HRT-S thickener is a part of the company’s Planet Positive offering, enabling savings in power consumption, reduction in embedded carbon and decreased maintenance costs. The HRT-S uses bench-scale and pilot testing to ensure process performance guarantees. With a defined set of features and selected options to choose from, the modular HRT-S enables accelerated project deliveries and shorter installation times, the company says. The HRT-S comes with Reactorwell technology, which is the new-generation feedwell with high solids retention and mixing efficiency that eliminates feed short-circuiting. It also offers low shear rate for ideal floccule growth, even discharge symmetry and excellent feed preparation. — Metso Corp., Espoo, Finland
