STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE FOR HIGH EFFICIENCY

CONCENTRATOR
OBJECTIVE: For Smooth Operation of high efficiency concentrator.

SCOPE: This SOP is applicable for 02 nos. of high efficiency concentrator.

INTRODUCTION High efficiency concentrator is a new type of ash/water concentration handling

equipment based on the design principle of superficial fluid and has advantages such as little occupancy, high
concentration efficiency, energy and water reservation, less environmental contamination, low project cost,
simple installation, operation and maintenance etc.
