TRI-FLO™ Tests Conducted at South Witbank Coal Mine
200317 pages
Trial of an imported dense medium separator installed in a fine coal pilot plant at a Witbank mine, for plant designers weighing alternatives to cyclones.
The separator handled fine coal and produced a 28 MJ/kg product, but its measured separation efficiency was lower than that of conventional dense medium cyclones and it was harder to operate. Two efficiency tests produced no evidence that the unit outperforms cyclones on fine coal, so cyclones were recommended when the plant was rebuilt at its next site.

How it opens
Jim Harrison Design Associates (JHDA), the company that will be marketing the Tri-floTM dense-medium separator in South Africa on behalf of Ecomin in Italy, requested permission to test a Tri-flo unit in the Coaltech 2020 fine coal dense-medium plant at South Witbank Coal Mine (SWC) so as to ascertain whether the Tri-flo unit would be suited to processing fine coal.
