Sand & Mud Eductor & Syphons

Principle of Operation of Sand & Mud Eductor & Syphons

Fig. 224 Water Jet Sand and Mud Eductors are used in pumping out wells, pits, tanks, or sumps where there is an accumulation of sand, mud, or other material not easily handled by the standard eductor. They are ideal for handling the heavy sludge residue from refining operations. A high-pressure liquid produces a high-velocity jet that entrains the suction material. This mixture is then discharged through a vertical pipe.

Fig. 225 Sand and Mud Syphons are also designed for pumping out pits and receptacles where there is an accumulation of sand, mud, sludge, or similar materials. The Syphon is submerged in the material being handled which it entrains and discharges vertically. A high-pressure gas produces a high-velocity jet that entrains the suction material. This mixture is then discharged through a vertical pipe.

Water Jet Sand and Mud Eductor or Sand and Mud Syphon turbulence created by the agitating jets keeps the solids in suspension for more efficient removal. Like the other eductors and syphons, there are no moving parts and nozzles are easily replaced. Portability of design gives these units ideal flexibility in covering wide areas of sand and mud.

Sand and Mud Eductor

  • Used in land bridges in forestry service.
  • Cleaning hydro pump sumps.
  • Underwater research vessel.

Sand and Mud Syphon

  • Uses waste steam from turbines to drain open outside holding sumps in power industry.
  • Aboard ship for drainage of laundry holding tank.
  • Hatchery and fish transport.
