Slurry Separation Unit
Slurry Separation Unit
The slurry separation plant is used to remove solids from slurry in tunnelling operations. It uses several stages, such as shale shakers, hydrocyclones, dewatering units, and centrifuges, to achieve effective separation. By recycling slurry, it improves efficiency and reduces waste disposal costs. The system has a compact, modular design, making it easy to install and transport. It has built-in pumps and control systems, and can be customised for different project needs. Overall, it helps maintain stable slurry pump performance, improves resource use, and delivers reliable operation in demanding conditions.

Working Principle
The TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine) Slurry Separation Plant operates through a multi-stage separation process. The slurry first passes through a coarse shale shaker to remove large particles. It is then pumped to hydrocyclones for further separation of solids. A dewatering shaker removes remaining solids, while fine hydrocyclones separate smaller particles. Finally, a decanter centrifuge removes ultra-fine solids to achieve high-quality slurry recovery. Clean slurry is recirculated back into the TBM system, while separated solids are discharged for disposal.
