    Hi all, This is a very generic question. What are the treatment processes for a tailings pond water to achieve the target effluent quality. What are the considerations? What is the typical process train? Does it include RO? What is the typical recovery and flux of RO, if it does? Sorry have...

    Does a change in flow lead to an instantaneous flow downstream?

    Hi all, and thank you to all. Firstly, it is a centrifugal pump with VFD and medium is water. Secondly, I recognise that the VFD takes time to ramp up. However, I would like to ignore this factor. My query is more of due to the length of pipe/inertia/flow, will there be a lag time? Someone...

    Does a change in flow lead to an instantaneous flow downstream?
