Sites often rely on centrifugal pumps to provide slurry service. These pumps (and their associated piping systems) require special provisions that demand detailed knowledge of the properties of solids and slurries to prevent wear, corrosion, erosion and other adverse effects such as solids settling. Specifying the optimum combination of speed, geometry and material requires a proper balance of often conflicting pump priorities; this requires consideration of stable operation, maximum wear life, operational flexibility and minimum energy consumption.

Especially when the dredging depth reaches 20m or more, the above situation will be more obvious. The use of underwater pumps can effectively improve the above situation. The lower the installation position of underwater pumps, the smaller the suction resistance and vacuum, which can obviously reduce the losses during the work and improve the working efficiency. The installation of underwater pump can effectively increase the dredging depth and improve the ability to transport sediment.

For certain types of slurry pumping conditions, positive displacement pumps may be a more suitable option than centrifugal pumps.

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.
