china vertical spindle slurry pump

- Lower operating costs - Typically, submersible slurry pumps require much lower operating costs than dry mounted pumps due to higher efficiency.

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 pumps help to operate these scrubbers efficiently and handle the abrasive slurries used in the flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) process.

The design of the slurry pump is critical to ensure that the abrasive and often corrosive aspects of the slurry do not damage the impeller. In addition, slurries and sludges may contain large amounts of unforeseen solids, which will inevitably clog many types of pumps. Since most centrifugal pump impellers have very tight tolerances on the worm gear, the abrasive (and sometimes corrosive) nature of the slurry will quickly wear down the worm gear and destroy the tolerances. In turn, this causes the pump to lose suction. This can lead to extensive downtime of the slurry pump, as well as expensive maintenance and spare parts.

High head (i.e. the height to which the pump can move the liquid)

Flushing is defined as a fluid which is introduced into the seal cavity on the process fluid side, close to the seal face, and is normally used to cool and lubricate the seal face.
