Process and equipment notes

Water collection

Process water is collected before entering the recovery stages.

Confirm with the site conditions and complete-system configuration.

Process outputs

Recovered fines, filter cake and return water

Side streams & destinations

Fine slurry enters a filter-press branch; filtrate reuse depends on water quality.
