Thickener Bed Control (2D)

Side-view control panel for a settling thickener: adjust feed rate, flocculant dose and underflow rate, and watch bed height, underflow density and overflow clarity respond in real time.

This 2D companion drives the same feed/underflow mass-balance model as the 3D scene through a plain side-view cross-section: solids settle from the feed inlet through a clear-water zone into a growing mud bed, a scraper rake sweeps the tank floor, and the underflow outlet draws thickened solids away — all read directly off the sliders instead of an orbiting camera.

⚙ Under the hood

Bed height integrates the feed/underflow balance over time; flocculant dose raises settling speed and underflow density while easing overflow turbidity — the same formulas as the 3D version, plotted on a 2D canvas.
