  1. Technical Presentation on a Bladeless Slurry Pump Beth Madsen Jessie Holderman Adam Oster Sponsor:

  2. Outline • Background • Initial Specifications • Constraints and Deliverables • Conceptual Development • Final Design • Manufacturing • Results/Validation • Conclusion/Recommendations • Questions

  3. Background A problem in the current loading process of the pilot filters is creating a safety hazard to workers, costing Blue Water excessive money, and time. Blue Water Technologies Inc. asked team Pump IT! to design an appropriate method to charge their BluePro pilot treatment filters.

  4. Initial Specifications

  5. Constraints Deliverables • Design and prototype a bladeless pump capable of pumping sand • Fabricate a bladeless pump • Validate the pump’s efficacy • Produce head curves • Recommend further measures to scale pump as necessary

  6. Conceptual Development

  7. Final Design

  8. Manufacturing • Used Haas CNC Lathe and Mill for manufacturing of parts with repetitive operations • Made use of the rapid prototype printer to produce complex geometry of exit nozzle, and to produce last-minute simple parts

  9. Results/Validation

  10. Conclusions Recommendations • Pump is effective at moving slurries • Design is easy to manufacture • Streamline exit nozzle entrance with housing to reduce turbulent flow • Use more durable housing materials • Use a motor with at least 0.45 Hp to reach desired height • Reduce disc thickness to increase flow and reduce weight • Increase disc inlet area to increase flow and reduce frictional losses Pumping slurry

  11. Questions Source: http://www.co.sanmateo.ca.us/smc/department/dpw/home/0,,5562541_5562587,00.html A big thanks to Blue Water Technologies Inc. for this exciting opportunity!
