Langley, B.C. Canada - Batch to continuous; Knelson's latest breakthrough in enhanced gravity technology has gained industry acceptance.
Product line manager Michael Fullam, P.Eng., recently presented a paper, continuous variable-discharge (CVD) technology at the Processing for Profit Conference in Atlanta, Georgia.
The paper outlines the major differences between the batch and continuous technology including equipment design features and mode of operation. It also discusses the affect of operating variables such as increase / decrease of G-force and the mass yield / recovery relationship. The paper concludes with a description of the first commercial application involving an iron removal in an industrial mineral application.
Other CVD applications in advanced stages of commercial evaluation include chromite, cassiterite , iron ore, silver, native copper, gold sulphides, and tantalite.
Gravity Technology Evaluation Centres (G-TECs) have been established in North America, South America, Africa and the CIS. This will soon be expanded to include Australasia and Western Europe.
