We used a centrifugal slurry pump with chopper blades to pump from
a collection sump into a 6 m3 digester with only occasional
blockage problems (Rats eyes bulge when they get sucked into the
pump and coke cans do not chop up properly!).<br>
<br>
Happy digesting,<br>

<div>I have come across three instances of failure of biogas
plants, where the operators used a centrifugal pump for
transferring pulpled feedstock into the digester. Could it be
due to air getting mixed with the feedstock in the process?</div>
