high quality warman slurry pump gland seal suppliers

Determine the perfect combination of slow pumping (to reduce wear) and fast pumping to prevent solids from settling and clogging.

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 winch dredger is usually equipped with a hull-mounted dredge pump, which has an impeller centered at or below the draft line for further production and improved suction efficiency.

It is important that the pump you choose has components that will not wear out from abrasive slurries.

Fine-grained sand can be extremely abrasive and typically wears slurry pumps quickly. Characteristics of coarse aggregates that can affect pump performance are size, shape and surface texture, as well as gradual changes in particle size, while fine materials can create excessive friction in the pipe.

The dredge pump is designed to draw sediment, debris and other hazardous materials from the surface layer into the suction pipe and transport the material through the pipe to the discharge site. The pump must be able to handle common solid debris of various sizes that can pass through the pump, thus minimizing the downtime required for cleaning.
