A system is provided for hydraulic transportation of waste solids, whereby the solids may be introduced into a by-pass line off a main duct, whereby the solids are introduced into a chamber after discontinuing the flow of water through the by-pass line, with the solids either being introduced into a chamber directly in the by-pass line, or into a chamber connected thereto for subsequent introduction into the by-pass line. In the latter situation, a pusher of the piston type may be utilized. Valves are used to discontinue the flow to the chamber, and to open a solids inlet to the chamber, with the valves then being actuated to close the solids inlet and to open the chamber to the flow of water. In those instances wherein the chamber forms a part of the by-pass line, the water may then carry off the waste. In those instances wherein the chamber does not form a part of the by-pass line but communicates therewith, the pusher is then utilized to push the solids into the by-pass line. This procedure is then followed by the extraction of water from the chamber.
