Leaders In Bespoke Engineering Solutions SLUDGE RETRIEVAL EQUIPMENT

A leak from a sump in the Redundant Settling Tank area of Sellafield was causing a large degree of concern with a reduction of an estimated 2,000 litres of liquor per day, so we were contacted by the Decommissioning Alliance to provide a solution to the problem. We designed and developed a sludge retrieval system which was capable of removing 15m3 of sludge and 15m3 of solid waste to address this problem.

Eductor Type D

A sludge and debris eduction system, Eductor Type D, was created by making use of the Venturi flow meter effect. The technology is capable of displacing approxing 675 litres of water, sludge and debris per minute.
