Controlled Tests of Eductors and Submersible Pumps

Abstract

This technical note summarizes a series of full scale tests on the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) Dredging Research Program (DRP) eductor, a two commercial eductor, and two commercial submersible pumps. The note covers test equipment, material, and procedures, used to evaluate the performance of the eductor and submersible pumps in clean sand and a variety of debris types. Information provided will assist personnel in selecting equipment for specific dredging and sand bypassing applications.
