Calculate thickener diameter, depth, and overflow clarity using Coe-Clevenger or Talmage-Fitch models.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides essential engineering calculations for sizing tailings and concentrate thickeners. It allows AI agents to determine the minimum required diameter using calculate_required_diameter, calculate necessary vessel height with calculate_required_depth, and estimate liquid quality via predict_overflow_clarity. Additionally, users can use optimize_flocculant_dosage to find the ideal chemical balance between vessel size and operational costs.

What diameter do I need for a thickener with 15% feed solids, 60% target underflow density, and a settling velocity of 0.5 m/h using the Coe-Clevenger method?

The required thickener diameter is 12.5 meters with a calculated surface area of 122.7 square meters.

How clear will the overflow be if I use a 10m diameter thickener with a settling velocity of 0.4 m/h and 10% feed solids?

The predicted suspended solids concentration is 0.02% with a high clarity score.

Calculate the total depth needed for a 15m diameter thickener with a 50% target underflow density, a solids loading rate of 2.0 kg/m²s, and a residence time requirement of 3600 seconds.

The total required depth is 8.4 meters, consisting of a 5.2m settling zone and a 3.2m compression zone.

The server supports both the Coe-Clevenger and Talmage-Fitch methods for calculating required diameter.
