The Inlet pressure to the booster must always be positive when working with a dredge pump. It is a good rule to have at least one atmosphere (15psi) of pressure on the inlet to the booster pump. Request Ellicott’s technical paper on Booster Pumps in Discharge Pipelines for a detailed description on placement.
