Hose pumps for waste and biogas slurry?
Hose pumps for waste and biogas slurry?
(OP)
Hello all, does anyone here have experience in using hose pumps for biogas slurries?
We'd be dealing with high solid content (~15% TS) and high viscosities, and low flowrates. Mostly we'd use excentric screw pumps but hose pumps may be an alternative.
Any comments on using these pumps for the substrates mentiones? How big may solids be? How is the opex? Do you expect troubles with a gas carrying medium?
Thanks!

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)

(Sides the obvious like price, power use, lifetime of hose, pump curve, pulsation ...)
