Dewatering of fossil fuels and suspensions of ultrafine particles bg mechanical/thermal dewatering

The mechanical/thermal dewatering is a new energetically and technologicall y optimized technique for the reduction of the water content of moist bulk materials and suspensions by the combined application of heat and mechanica l forces Apart from the dewatering of moist fossil fuels, the process is es pecially suited for the dewatering of suspensions containing ultrafine part icles, which still are difficult to dewater because of the strong surface e ffects. The significant shortening of the process time and the reduction of the plant size result in lower costs and provide the economical applicatio n of the MTE procedure.
