I am currently trying to put together an experimental plan for increasing pulp consistency coming from a disk thickener. Currently feed is between 1 and 2 percent, and exiting slurry is about 8 to 9 percent. Does anyone have any suggestions of what has worked for them, or any general changes to the system that might help?
