The Counter Current Decantation (CCD) thickener circuit at Swakop Uranium’s Husab project demonstrates the potential of an FLSmidth package solution. Designed and supplied by FLSmidth, this CCD circuit has the largest diameter thickeners of its kind to be installed on the African continent in this type of application.
Located near Swakopmund on the west coast of Namibia, Husab will reportedly be the largest open-pit uranium mine in the world and will mine 150 Mt of rock and produce over 15 million pounds of uranium oxide annually.
