| Slurry systems present unique challenges in the world of hydraulic system
design and simulation. Failure to accurately account for slurry properties,
changing concentrations and pump performance effect can lead to plugged pipes,
misapplied pumps, increased energy usage, reduced system performance and
increased operating and maintenance costs.
The AFT Fathom Settling Slurry module (SSL) addresses
the unique challenges of settling slurry system design by bringing the
extensive capabilities, flexibility and ease-of-use of AFT Fathom
to bear to these unique engineering challenges.
Using state-of-the-art correlations to predict the flow, pressure drop and
reduced pump performance when pumping solids, the AFT Fathom SSL module let’s you –
- Enter properties of solids particles and optionally keep these in a reusable and sharable database.
- Include slurry pump de-rating using either the Warman or ANSI/HI methods.
- Display special output reports with im, jm, settling velocity, slurry volume and mass flows and other slurry specific parameters.
- Quickly evaluate multiple design and operating cases using Scenario Manager.
- Generate special slurry system curves, critical to understanding important system velocity limits.
From new system design to modification or expansion of an existing system to simulating
system operation, AFT Fathom with the SSL module
provides you the capabilities and flexibility you need in this complex arena of hydraulic analysis.
