Hydraulic separating apparatus and method

摘要: The invention consists of an upright tank structure that includes axially aligned first and second parts, the part being smaller in diameter than part. A horizontal barrier plate having holes therethrough is mounted between upper lower regions same. annular side walls parts regions. Feed slurry introduced into region Water under pressure below both barriers caused to flow upwardly through openings with formation water jets extending from openings. In operation solids feed are separated coarse, fine intermediate or middling fractions. apparatus a method operation.
