PROCESS EQUIPMENT
Process-focused selection for the THICKENER UNIT: a high-efficiency solid–liquid separation and thickening solution
Miyay Process Thickener Units are high-capacity solid–liquid separation and thickening systems used in the mining, chemical, energy, food, and environmental industries. Operating on the principle of gravity, these systems accelerate the settling of solid particles in slurry or suspension, enabling separation of the clarified liquid phase. With energy efficiency, low operating costs, and high process stability, they provide a reliable solution at industrial scale.
- High-efficiency solid–liquid separation
- Effective thickening performance
- Energy-efficient, stable operation
Why MIYAY?
- Process expertise: application-specific settling kinetics analysis and flocculant optimization.
- High-capacity options: a broad range of models, from laboratory-scale systems to industrial-scale thickener tanks.
- Full automation integration: a design compatible with level sensors, flow control, and SCADA/PLC systems.
- Mobile pilot testing: on-site tests and support for verifying process performance.
- Durable, Long-Lasting Design — Engineered construction and protective surface coatings suited to heavy industrial conditions.
Let’s design a thickener system suited to your process.
At Miyay Process, we understand that every process stream has different sludge characteristics and dissolution behavior. That is why we provide engineering support at every stage, from laboratory analyses to pilot-scale tests.
By determining the right flocculant type, settling time, and tank geometry, we can design together the most efficient thickener system for your plant.
Plan your investment with confidence and optimize process performance based on data.
HIGHLIGHTED FEATURES
High settling efficiency and maximum thickening performance.
Conical-bottom tank design for efficient sludge discharge.
Automatic level control and discharge for continuous, stable operation.
Modular construction designed for different capacities.

WORKING PRINCIPLE
THICKENER UNIT: working principle and process steps for a high-efficiency solid–liquid separation and thickening solution
Precipitation of Solids
Under gravity, solid particles settle toward the tank bottom while a clarified liquid phase forms in the upper zone.
Thickening
Settled solids are thickened in the tank’s conical bottom to reach a higher solids concentration.
Liquid and sludge discharge
The separated net liquid is discharged from the upper part, and the condensed sludge is discharged from the bottom of the tank in a controlled manner.
