Viewpoints on design of water supply and drainage systems for intelligent coal preparation plant

Following an elaboration on the concepts of intelligentization and automation and their difference, some ideas about the design and study of the water supply and drainage systems, a process link of vital importance for an intelligent coal preparation plant, and particularly the problems of the coal slurry water system currently encountered in coal washing operations, are proposed. It is intended to provide some experience for the design, construction and operation of intelligent coal preparation plants in the future.
