Compared to standard centrifugal pumps, centrifugal pumps optimized for slurry pumping typically have the following features.

>Dredge pumps are a special category of pumps used in the dredging process. Dredging is the process of transporting submerged sediments (usually sand, gravel or rock) from one area to another. Dredging takes place in the shallow waters of lakes, rivers or seas for land reclamation, dredging, flood control, new harbours or expansion of existing harbours. The various industries that use dredge pumps are therefore the construction industry, mining, the coal industry and the oil and gas industry.

Choosing the right slurry pump

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.

WZ series slurry pumps are developed on the wide adaption of both home and abroad advance technology and many years of slurry pump design and field operation experiences.

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.
