P3
Decanters
Cost-Saving Technology for Small and Medium-Size Dewatering Duties
Alfa Laval P3 decanter centrifuges help eliminate many of the problems associated with tailings dam operations and filtration technologies. They are a proven and effective dewatering solution for slimes, clays and silts and other fine tailings. The special deep pond design, the unique conveyor and the optimized cone angle enable you to treat
volumes.
Benefits
Low capital and installation cost
Robust design (fully wear protected) for high reliability
No filter cloth, limited quantity of wash-water at shutdown
Can be trialed on a pilot for proof of concept and then scaled up
Able to dewater ultrafine material < 10 microns in continuous operation
APPLICATION
Unique Features:
The smooth acceleration of solids in the feed and outlet zones helps minimize wear and results in an efficient separation process.
Built to last Alfa Laval P3 decanter centrifuges are constructed with carefully selected components such as Duplex stainless steel (SS316 and SAF2205).
Heavy-duty bearings and a stiff box beam frame ensure a design fit for purpose, and all exposed interior parts are protected by replaceable tungsten carbide tiles.
