Slurry pump vs mud pump

1.Find the spot that allows the pump to run as slow as possible (to reduce wear), but fast enough to keep solids from settling and clogging the lines.To reduce wear, lower the pump’s discharge pressure to the lowest point possible. Follow proper piping principles to ensure a constant and uniform delivery of the slurry to the pump.

Slurry Pump Considerations

What are the materials used to construct the pump?

In a subsea installation, the slurry pump runs directly in the slurry and does not require a support structure, which means it is flexible and easy to install. If possible, the catch basin should be equipped with sloping walls to allow sediment to slide down into the area directly below the pump inlet. Agitators should be used when the liquid contains large amounts of solids and has a high particle density. Freestanding or side-mounted (submersible) mixers are an excellent choice for resuspended solids, especially if the catch basin is large or does not have sloping walls.

Horizontal centrifugal pumps are commonly used for slurry service, but vertical and other types of pumps are better suited to certain specific applications. Centrifugal pumps for handling slurries have features tailored to specific services that reflect the corrosive or abrasive nature of the slurry and the concentration of solids. These may include the choice of materials, the use of liners or even different drive sizes.
