Claims28
A method of treating lime slurry in a slurry treatment system, comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a watery lime slurry having lime particles and grit particles therein, in a slurry tank;
- (b) delivering slurry from the slurry tank and extracting a portion of the slurry delivered from the slurry tank via a discharge line and discharging said extracted portion of the slurry from said discharge line;
- (c) substantially continuously delivering the slurry from the slurry tank to a device for separation of some of the grit from the rest of the slurry;
- and
- (d) recirculating the rest of the slurry to the slurry tank after separation of some of the grit from the slurry.
