delta-Q can model Heterogeneous settling
slurries with Newtonian fluid properties and also non-Newtonian
homogenous slurries such as Bingham plastic type slurries.
- Model Slurry Transport, Plant
Slurry Systems, Mill Circuits, CCD Thickener Systems, Tailings
Disposal, Mine Backfill, Process Solution Systems, Lime Neutralisation
Systems with ease.
- The program uses a minimum of
slurry input data for each type of slurry. Rheological data is
required for non-Newtonian slurries.
- Calculates Settling Velocity
for Heterogeneous slurries and Critical Velocity for Non-Newtonian
Bingham type Slurries.
- The program produces warnings
if low flow velocities will result in slurry particle settlement.
For Non-Newtonian slurries, if shear rates are too low to produce
flow, a blocked pipe condition is simulated in the network with
an accompanying warning flag.
- Pipe System curves are drawn
showing system resistance curve, settling slurry resistance curve
and flow duty point. For Bingham slurries, the laminar plug flow
resistance curve is drawn This allows you to size each pipe correctly
to ensure most economical operation and to avoid blocked pipe
conditions. .
- Setup individual Fluids and
properties in each pipe - Model real world process lows with
different slurries in the same network. For example, you may
have a concentrated slurry in one pipe flowing into a junction
with a water pipe (or pipes) and dilute slurry flowing through
the network from that point onwards.
- Include Networks with unknown
pressure nodes and unknown flow nodes or any combination of the
two.
Model slurry networks containing
any number of Hoppers, Tanks, junctions and outlet nozzles.
