Dewatering fine clean coal fractions, -595 MUm (-28 mesh), represents one of the most difficult and costly separations in typical plant circuits. The screen bowl centrifuge offers an economical alternative to filtration/thermal drier combinations. The performance of screen bowl centrifuges has been continuously modified and improved to dewater not only coarse coals, but also ultrafine material. Tests comparisons with alternative methods show the screen bowl centrifuge to be most cost-effective and efficient when all factors are considered.
