In the Operational Menu, users set the method for setting solids removal by selecting<br />

from the drop down menu. The relevant fields (pumped flow, underflow solids<br />

concentration, removal efficiency) are highlighted.<br />

Once two of the three above options have been specified, the model performs a mass and<br />

flow balance (similar to the simple model below) to determine the flow and<br />

concentrations for the cake and filtrate streams.<br />

Simple Model<br />

In the simple model, the user inputs two operational parameters: Solids capture (%), and<br />

Polymer dosage (g/m 3 ). From these two parameters, the dewatering parameters (under<br />

Parameters > Calibration) and the input solids concentration (X i), the cake (X s) and<br />

centrate (X o) solids concentrations are calculated:<br />
