AFT Fathom:
Slurry Module
 

The AFT Fathom Settling Slurry Module is based on the theory presented in 'Slurry Transport Using Centrifugal Pumps' by Wilson, Addie, Sellgen and Clift.

Key features are:

  • 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.

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 address these unique engineering challenges.

Specifying slurry properties can be complex and details are not always known so that the AFT Fathom SSL module provides multiple levels of specification detail. The Minimal method can be used in the preliminary design phase where only rough data are available, the Simplified method where additional slurry details are known provides increased accuracy and the Detailed method using the most detail and providing the most rigorous solution methodology.

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.
