Pilot Plant Dewatering, Agglomeration and Thermal Curing Processing
Equipment
The pilot plant at IMP has equipment for dewatering,
such as thickeners, drum filters, centrifuges and hydrocyclones.
Agglomeration processing is available including a continuous
briquetting machine.
Thermal curing equipment includes a calciner and a large muffle
furnace. Ancillary processes such as these offer project sponsors an
opportunity to evaluate complete processes.
