As this limestone slurry needs to be moved efficiently through a complex industrial process, the selection of the right pumps and valves (taking into account their whole life cycle costs and maintenance) is crucial.

Slurry Pump Speed

Pump selection for FGD

As wear is a function of speed, slurry pumps should be operated at the lowest possible speed; units typically run at 1,200 rpm or less. Often, direct coupling between the pump and a low-speed motor or other drive makes the most sense. On the other hand, many other applications favour gearboxes to meet the required speed and operating point. In services where variable flow rates are required, variable frequency drives are used to provide the necessary continuous speed variation.
