20. Environmental Remediation This application involved the reclamation of contaminated soil and waste, water. Hose pumps are specified for transport of sediment/water samples from one vessel to another or to a reactor. These fluids contain dense and highly abrasive particles, which tend to settle very quickly. A rugged positive-displacement pump is required to keep the particles entrained and moving. The hose pump is an effective and reliable solution for this application. Chemical contamination is eliminated and the solids can be transported over long distances without the need for pump maintenance caused by deposition, abrasion or corrosion (Fig. 1).
