SLUDGE TRANSFER

Sludge pumps

Sludge-transfer selection based on viscosity, solids content and duty conditions.

TPE advises on wastewater sludge, thick sludge, solids-laden mixtures and abrasive fluids in industrial facilities. Options include progressing cavity pumps, dedicated centrifugal slurry pumps and vertical cantilever sump pumps. Selection considers solids concentration and size, viscosity, corrosion, sump depth and pipeline pressure, alongside wear-part life and maintenance access.

Your system requirements

  • Thick sludge, wastewater sludge and solids-laden mixtures
  • Abrasive slurry: Ruhrpumpen MPP
  • Cantilever sump pumps: Ruhrpumpen MPPV
  • Grundfos: sludge and wastewater pumps matched to fluid properties
Ruhrpumpen MPP handles abrasive slurry; MPPV is a vertical cantilever sump design. Grundfos pumps are selected against sludge properties and each range’s limits; thick or highly abrasive sludge requires a separate assessment.
