Development of a Mobile Pneumohydraulic System for Removal of Sediment Deposits in Shaft Wells

Abstract

This paper presents a study of the pneumohydraulic method for the removal of sediment deposits during the cleaning of shaft wells and the development of a mobile experimental unit. The accumulation of sediment in wells significantly reduces their efficiency and requires effective cleaning technologies. The proposed method combines the action of compressed air and water flow to intensify the process of sediment loosening and removal. A mobile unit was designed and prepared for experimental validation. The proposed approach is expected to provide effective cleaning of wells, reduce labor intensity, and improve operational performance compared to conventional methods. The developed system can be applied in rural and livestock water supply systems.
