The HydroForce feed dilution system has been designed to not only control the feed solids concentration, but to also manage any froth that is generated on the thickener surface. The Vector® has been proven to significantly reduce froth by deaerating the incoming feed and by having an efficient mixing velocity that captures and flocculates solids within the froth. In applications that have excessive froth, the HydroForce is typically configured to capture, deaerate, dilute, flocculate and then inject the froth below the incoming feed stream. This provides an efficient method for destructing any froth that would usually carry solids to the overflow system.
