PD pump I can throw into a sump, for a thick slurry?
PD pump I can throw into a sump, for a thick slurry?
(OP)
I need to move a slurry (sugar beet pulp) from a tank, and I want the civils of the tank as simple as possible. Ricght now I'm looking at a progressing cavity pump mounted in a pipe the dips* into the slurry, but this will be expensive and unwieldy .I'm looking for alternatives.
One thing, that I'm not sure exists, but which I'd like to investigate, is a PD (diaphragm, piston ...) pump that I can handle like a classical immersion pump - lower into my sump with a hose or a connection pawl. Is there such a thing?
Other concerns: low pH (may be around 4), no food application,

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.)

note that I'm not looking for an application for a lagoon, but for a smaller tank built above ground.

There are also air powered eductors, or water powered ones if you don't mind diluting the pulp.

I was probably overthinking the whole issue and will probably position a PC pump beside my tank. Then I'm not able to empty it completly, which I think I and the plant will survive.
