Determine the operating parameters of the pump.

With the standard flush schedule, the flow is usually adjusted by compressing the packings until a few drops of water are observed leaking from the seals on the drive side. In a quench schedule the flow rate is set by adjusting the inlet valve, while a valve is used on the exhaust side to maintain the correct seal tank pressure. If the outlet water from the seal box is too hot, the flow rate is increased until the outlet water cools, while still maintaining the correct seal box pressure.

What style of pump is suitable?

If you have experience pumping slurries, you know it's not an easy task. Slurries are heavy and difficult to pump. They cause excessive wear on pumps and their components and are known to clog suction and discharge lines if not moving fast enough. Most importantly, it’s a challenge to make slurry pumps last for a reasonable amount of time. But, there are a few things you can do to extend the life of your slurry pump and make pumping slurry less of a challenge.

We know that the right rubber and ceramic liners work very well. They also last longer and can withstand more demanding use. They can also be replaced, thereby extending the life of the pump while reducing operating costs. You can also customise your pump with a variety of ceramic parts, including bushings, pump housings, impellers, wet ends and even seals.

When flushing is required, the >slurry pump supplier recommends the API Option 32 sealed pipe arrangement as it is more suitable for services containing solids or contaminants that could damage the seal faces if recirculated in the flushing medium.
