How The Pump Works
EDDY Pump vs Centrifugal Pump Video
This video shows how EDDY Pump transports high slurry and abrasive materials. Featured dredge pump equipment includes the Remote Operated Subdredge, Diver Operated Pump and a Excavator Attachment Dredge Pump.
THE EDDY PUMP
Dredge Production Cost
| 10-in EDDY Pump Dredge | 10-in Leading Centrifugal Pump Dredge | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Initial Acquisition Cost | $160,000.00 | $125,000.00 | ||
| Equipment | 10-in EDDY Excavator Pump | 10-in Centrifugal Pump Attachment | ||
| Production (cubic yards of material per hour) |
300 cy/hr | 150 cy/hr | ||
| Total Production over a year |
Based on working 5 days a week and 10-hour shifts and 52 weeks per year
|
|||
| Total Cost of Replacement parts over a year (mechanical seal, impeller, etc) |
$2,500.00 (includes cutter teeth, and miscellaneous) |
$30,000.00 (Mechanical Seal, Impeller, Cutterteeth) |
||
| Corrective Action Costs over a year (downtime and labor costs for changing out failed parts, etc) |
$5,000.00 (includes cutter teeth, and miscellaneous) |
$45,000.00 (Mechanical Seal, Impeller, Cutterteeth) |
||
| Total Equipment Operation Cost per Cubic Yard (minus operating costs such as diesel and operator’s labor) |
Total Cost per year: $167,500.00
Total Cost per cubic yard: ($167,500.00) / (624,000 cubic yards per year) / = $0.27 per cubic yard |
Total Cost per year: $200,000.00
Total Cost per cubic yard: ($200,000.00) / (234,000 cubic yards per year) = $0.85 per cubic yard |

Dredge Project Consulting
- Easier to install and maintain, the horizontal slurry pump, a type of dredge pump, allows for quick access to pump components, making repair jobs straightforward. During repair jobs, pumps are completely disassembled for thorough inspection. All components are carefully inspected, and any parts not meeting standards are replaced. After reassembly, the pump is tested to ensure reliable performance. These steps help extend the service life of the hydraulic pump and maintain equipment reliability. EDDY Pump can also provide dredging project managers to oversee sediment projects and remediation projects, ensuring that all aspects of the dredging project are managed efficiently and in compliance with environmental regulations.
- Requires more room, due to its larger footprint compared to vertical
- Implementing best management practices and evaluating management alternatives are essential for effective material management in any dredging project.
Vertical Slurry Pump
-
Less smaller footprint, allowing the dredge pump to be implemented in hard to reach jobs
-
More versatile, can be cable hung straight down and inserted directly into medium to pump target material. The vertical slurry pump can also be used in mechanical dredging operations where minimal water addition is required.
-
The vertical slurry pump is typically situated within the excavator or dredging system so that it is optimally positioned for efficient material handling and performance.
-
More difficult to repair and tougher maintenance

Lower Production Cost
EDDY Pump’s Production Cost is 3x less than Competition.
The total cost is the sum of the equipment’s initial cost, operating cost, maintenance cost, and disposal cost.
The dredging capacity refers to the volume (in cubic yards) the dredging equipment can handle per unit of time.
Finally, the cost per cubic yard is calculated by dividing the total cost by the dredging capacity. This will provide the cost effectiveness of each piece of equipment.

Both of the Eddy Brine Pumps have been operating great. Wish I could say the same about the other pumps (Chestertons’s) – 5 of 6 failed on me during my last deployment.
