Here’s what you didn’t know about the Dewatering Process!

The dewatering pumps are used for various purposes. Therefore, it is important to know as much as you can about the dewatering process. This is why this blog is going to tell you a few interesting facts, that you probably didn’t know already.

Here goes:

1.Excess water acts as a problem in and out of the site

Firstly, one should know and believe that the dewatering process is quite simple. It is as simple as work being done, water being accumulated, and further, water being extracted. However, there is something that does make the practice complicated. This is what comes right after the step of extraction. Most of the companies out there face issues related to where the water acquired is to be dumped. This has become a very common issue with all such companies that are using water pumps. This is because the pipes directly go for directing the water into an underground system. Now, the issue is that if it’s placed at a place which is somewhere nearby, then it causes the soil to erode. This could easily affect the construction at a point later on.

Therefore, the common practice is to first test out the dewatering plan and then see the effects of the water on the release area.

2.The techniques of dewatering are quite simple

We all know that dewatering is just taking away water and further moving it to some other place. However, there are different techniques that various companies are trying to use for the same. Out of all of them, the most common one is by the use of pumps like dewatering pumps. Some go on creating deep wells as well as drains for keeping the water level to the minimum. On the other hand, some companies are using siphoning techniques. The simplest dewatering way is by scooping out the water with the help of heavy machinery. It is then placed in a container, further transported to the area that it is going to be directed to. This works best when the water levels are still low.

There are many other interesting facts about dewatering pumps and its techniques, that you can find out by digging deeper. You would go on to find that it is a long process which takes months or weeks to complete. Also, that dewatering is important for quick as well as safe completion of projects that are large-scale.

Talking About Ash Slurry!

As long-time manufacturers of slurry pumps, Darling Pumps realizes that the topic of ash slurry is a little complex. However, whether we talk about slurry pumps, or submersible dewatering pumps or any water pumps for that matter, no function of them is impossible to understand.

Therefore, in an attempt to help the people who are feeling a little lost when it comes to the subject of ash slurry, this blog explains a little about the same.

For starters, you should understand that in thermal plants, coal is used as fuel in order to generate electricity. Burning of coal leads to the generation of ash. This generated ash needs to be carefully disposed off from the thermal power plant.

Following are the types of ash generated in a thermal power plant:

1. Fly Ash- Out of the total of ash generated in thermal power plants, around 80% is fly ash. This ash is in the form of really fine particles. 

2. Bottom Ash- This refers to the ash that is being generated below the furnace of the thermal power plant. The bottom ash is about 20% of the total ash generated. Due to its coarse nature, bottom ash needs to be further crushed before it can go into the ash handling system.  

If you lost us at ‘the ash handling system’ then don’t worry, here’s a little bit which explains to you, what that refers to. 

The ash handling system is also known as the ash handling plant. This is used in thermal power plants to cool down the generated ash and bring it down to a manageable temperature.  Further, it is transferred to a storage facility or a disposal area and used in other industries.

The ash from the bottom ash handling system, when mixed with water in bottom ash silo, forms slurry. This new formed slurry is then transported to ash disposal area. From here the slurry is further pump out through slurry handling pump.

Although in doing this slurry pumps suffer through a lot of wear and tear. This wear and tear lead to its own set of problems, like the following:

1. Increase in maintenance and repair costs

2. Improper quality of pumping 

3. Replacement costs 

4. More time to get the job done right

Therefore, one should always focus on getting the right kind of slurry pumps, when it comes to dealing with something as complex as ash slurry.
