Stefanutti Stocks Mechanical Clarifier Overview

Stefanutti Stocks' Skelton & Plummer High Rate Clarifier, also known as S&P HRC, offers a complete turnkey dirty water clarification solution that can be utilised both on the surface or underground.
The clarifier was developed for dirty water treatment in gold, platinum and other base metal mines - with the objective of achieving a throughput rate four to six times higher than conventional conical settlers. The requirement for a higher throughput rate became apparent in the mining industry in the eighties, when many settlers, because of increased production, were becoming hydraulically overloaded.
It was often the case that the existing infrastructure could not be extended (by blasting new and/or bigger excavations) to accommodate additional water facilities. The HRC’s popularity is largely due to its throughput rate, of up to six litres per m2 per second, under peak flow conditions.
