ABSTRACT:
A vessel provided with a hold for transporting a cargo of slurry, such as pulverized iron ore and water, is provided with vacuum dewatering means and a device for monitoring the progress of consolidation of the solid particles. When vibration or other motion of the vessel tends to increase the rate of consolidation, the vacuum dewatering means is operated to lower the rate, so that when the vessel reaches its destination, the cargo may be more easily unloaded. A particular design of slurry/supernatant liquid interface level detector is described.
