Hydrocyclones [1] and thickeners are employed for pre-thickening to give a feed of 35-70%wt. solids, although often their task is more of a classification, i.e., preferential removal of large gypsum particles. Pre-thickening might be necessary for optimal operation of subsequent filters or centrifuges.
