-3Should the liquid level drop during low feed flowrates or during shut down or after starting up with a low
liquid level exposing the discharge holes or part of it froth would also exit the holes.
In order to prevent froth from entering the holes during shutdown or low feed flowrates a pipe arrangement
is installed which now allows overflow to be taken from the clear liquid zone below the holes and maintain
clear overflow devoid from concentrate.
The height of the feedwell is adjustable by means of adjuster bolts in order to prevent overflow entering
the top of the feedwell at maximum feed flowrate.
Adjustment of the feedwell is normally done during commissioning or when feed flow parameters
necessitates it.
The feedwell could also have entry holes similar to the above and discharging at any determined level
similar to the extended discharge below overflow level in order to introduce secondary feed dilution in
addition to the dewatering dilution from the central dewatering pipe.
