A monitoring system for a water scalping sand classifying tank, comprising timers for measuring the cumulative total discharge times for at least two key classification stations of the tank over an extended period of time which may include many reblend cycles for the tank. Tolerance limits are established by use of at least two timers for each key station. Any extended variation in the desired ratio of total discharges for the key stations, indicating an input change requiring correction, is signalled by an indicator system coupled to the timers. |

A system for the continuous monitoring of wear and/or pressure within a gravity concentrator/centrifugal separator [10] is disclosed. The system may comprise a gravity concentrator/centrifugal separator [10] having a cone [30], rotor housing shell [20], and water jacket [40]. At least one detector [34] may be provided to at least one of the cone [30], rotor housing shell [20], and water jacket [40]. At least one integrated or handheld sensor [60] may be provided adjacent to portions of the gravity concentrator/centrifugal separator [10], the sensor [60] being configured to communicate (e.g., wirelessly) with the at least one detector [34] during operation of the gravity concentrator/centrifugal separator [10]. In use, the cone [30] may wear away and ultimately affect a function of the least one detector [34]. In use, pressure changes within the water jacket [40] may change and ultimately affect a function (e.g., an output signal) of the least one detector [34]. The at least one sensor [60] may be configured to monitor said function(s) of the least one detector [34]. When the at least one sensor [60] detects a change in the signal of the at least one detector [34], an operator or control system may be notified that maintenance or cone [30] replacement may be necessary; and/or an operator or control system may be notified that one or more operational inputs may need to be adjusted to obtain peak performance of the gravity concentrator/centrifugal separator [10]. |

An apparatus including a screen capable of separating solids from a liquid-solid mixture and a first probe disposed beneath the screen. The first probe is provided to determine a position of a beach between the liquid-solid mixture and separated solids. The apparatus may measure a property of a local volume of a probe disposed beneath a first separator deck. The probe may then send a first signal to database. Based on the signal a location of a beach may be determined. |

An improved system and method for separating combustible organic particles from noncombustible inorganic particles in coal, in preparation for combustion. The coal is size-reduced and size-graded to small pieces which are then supplied to input ends of water-immersed descending slides having ultrasonic transducers for vibratory separation of inorganic and organic particles. The slides have different longitudinal lengths with angles of declination configured to achieve time-differential exposure to the ultrasonic vibratory energy, with smaller coal pieces being subjected to shorter time ultrasonic vibratory exposure. In one preferred form, longitudinally spaced turbidity sensors along the slide provide signals used to control selected ultrasonic transducers upon substantially complete cleaning of the coal pieces. |
