Materials of Construction

Depending on the abrasive nature of the slurry, it is important to select the ideal seal. Slurry pump seals should have a hardened surface made of silicon carbide or tungsten carbide. Vortex pumps use patented seal technology that utilizes a double mechanical seal setup and a separate seal flushing system. This allows the sealing surface to be kept cool at all times without causing the slurry to overheat the seal and crack the surface.

Corrosiveness of the liquid or slurry mixture: More corrosive slurries will wear pump components faster and may dictate the choice of pump manufacturing materials.

The slurry must be pumped from the absorber tank to the top of the spray tower where it is sprayed downwards as a fine mist to react with the upward moving flue gas. With pumping volumes typically in the range of 16,000 to 20,000 gallons of slurry per minute and heads of 65 to 110 feet, rubber lined slurry pumps are the optimal pumping solution.

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

If a centrifugal pump, is the design and material used to construct the impeller suitable for pumping slurries?
