Sludge Thickener Pump Head Calculation

This document calculates the pump head for 4 sludge thickener pumps that transport sludge through piping to a dry bed. It finds that the total dynamic head required is 11.770 meters, which exceeds the designed head of 10 meters. Specifically: 1) It calculates friction and fitting losses for the suction, discharge, and yard piping systems. 2) The suction and discharge systems service 2 pumps each, while the yard piping services all 4 pumps. 3) When summed, the total losses are greater than the pump's designed operating head.
