china 3 inch slurry pump

As new coal-fired power plants come on line to meet the growing demand for electricity in the US and around the world, there is an increasing need to clean plant emissions to meet clean air regulations. Special pumpsxa0help to operate these scrubbers efficiently and handle the abrasive slurries used in the flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) process.

Slurry pumps can be used to transport mixtures of liquids and solids in many industries in a wide range of applications, such as mine drainage, dredging of sunken lagoons and pumping of drilling mud.

Typical Applications of slurry pump

The FGD process begins when the limestone feed (rock) is reduced in size by crushing it in a ball mill and then mixed with water in a slurry supply tank. The slurry (approx. 90% water) is then pumped into the absorption tank. As the consistency of the limestone slurry tends to change, suction conditions can occur which can lead to cavitation and pump failure.
