With the nozzles of the P43® being between 20 and 30 inches off the tank floor, how is the P43® capable of picking up sludge underneath the nozzles before the jet has impacted the sludge?
The P43® resuspends tank sludge by two mechanisms. The first, in the region immediately adjacent to the P43®, is by way of jet entrainment. The effectiveness of this mechanism for sludge resuspension has been demonstrated in all cases. The second mechanism is direct jet impact on the tank sludge which occurs within 15 or 20 feet of the P43® due to the expansion of the jet at approximately a 14° angle.
