Settling Tank Pumps – Desludge and Cleanup
Common applications for EDDY Pumps and related terms. Settling basins, settling tanks, clarifiers, sedimentation ponds, sludge dewatering, digesters, desludging settling tanks and more.
The desludging of settling tanks and clarifiers has always been a very costly and timely process. Often plants hire expensive vacuum trucks which take a lot of time to suck out all the sludge. This is also a dangerous option, as it exposes personnel to toxic material located in the settling tanks. Other options are to utilize centrifugal pumps, which pump very low percent of solids and often get clogged by the debris.
EDDY Pump Corporation recognized this problem and has created three solutions which save the client time and money while significantly reducing any safety issues.
For cleaning out sludge in smaller clarifiers, the Dredge Sled is a cost-effective option alongside being easy to operate. Another option is to utilize an electric or hydraulically driven submersible slurry pump with a water jetting system and a recirculation system. When dealing with sludge removal in larger settling basins, a remote operated dredge is utilized.
Settling Tank Cleanup Equipment
EDDY Pump partnered with UAT Pacific and is now able to offer a complete dredging solution for effective slurry, sludge, and solids removal, the Dredge Sled. With the latest technology, the Dredge Sled is a cost-effective solution for your pond, lagoon, canal, tailings pond, and settling tank cleaning.
The Dredge Sled is a simple, efficient and easy to use alternative to more complicated heavy-duty dredging equipment. The best solution for shallow pond or lagoon dredging.
Settling Tank Recirculation Pump
EDDY Pump design specializes in solids handling. Less water in the process results in greatly reduced transportation cost of waste.
Dredge Project Consulting
- Easier to install and maintain, the horizontal slurry pump, a type of dredge pump, allows for quick access to pump components, making repair jobs straightforward. During repair jobs, pumps are completely disassembled for thorough inspection. All components are carefully inspected, and any parts not meeting standards are replaced. After reassembly, the pump is tested to ensure reliable performance. These steps help extend the service life of the hydraulic pump and maintain equipment reliability. EDDY Pump can also provide dredging project managers to oversee sediment projects and remediation projects, ensuring that all aspects of the dredging project are managed efficiently and in compliance with environmental regulations.
- Requires more room, due to its larger footprint compared to vertical
- Implementing best management practices and evaluating management alternatives are essential for effective material management in any dredging project.
Vertical Slurry Pump
-
Less smaller footprint, allowing the dredge pump to be implemented in hard to reach jobs
-
More versatile, can be cable hung straight down and inserted directly into medium to pump target material. The vertical slurry pump can also be used in mechanical dredging operations where minimal water addition is required.
-
The vertical slurry pump is typically situated within the excavator or dredging system so that it is optimally positioned for efficient material handling and performance.
-
More difficult to repair and tougher maintenance
