THICKENERS

250 Million Gallons

That's the amount of water saved per day from McLanahan Thickeners throughout North America. McLanahan's vast range of Thickeners are ideal when water is in short supply or very expensive, or when in need of reducing or eliminating settling ponds.

McLanahan Thickeners Provide Efficient and Sustainable Water Recycling

thickener-clarifier (2)In the aggregate industry, the main function of a Thickener is to separate suspended solids from plant effluent to reduce the total volume of waste while returning water for immediate reuse in the process.

Sustainable Water Recycling

Thickeners not only help create a more sustainable site by producing reusable process water, they also minimize the environmental impact and safety risks associated with multiple or large settling ponds. Separating the liquids from the solids decreases the volume headed to the pond, allowing producers to reduce or potentially eliminate their ponds.

McLanahan Thickeners are ideal for sites where:

  • Water is scarce or expensive.
  • Land is scarce or there is no space for ponds.
  • Ponds may not be an option from a regulation standpoint.
  • Maintaining ponds and the expenses associated with that is a concern.
  • Ponds would potentially cover up mineable reserves.

MS Industries Eliminates Need For Settling Ponds With McLanahan Thickener And Filter Press

MS Industries has a good deposit of silica sand at their mine site in Town Creek, Ala., but it contains up to 20% clay in some areas. When they began developing the site in 2016, their biggest goal was to find the best washing system to remove the clay and produce a pure silica product while maintaining a small footprint.
