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.

Applications

These mud pumps can pump not only sand, but also more mud. They are very effective in pumping all forms of mud, gravel, concrete, slurry, slush, etc.

Flushing is defined as a fluid which is introduced into the seal cavity on the process fluid side, close to the seal face, and is normally used to cool and lubricate the seal face.

Damage to slurry pumps can range from burst seals to bearings and component housings wearing out where they join, to impellers corroding due to cavitation or severe wear and so on. However, there are solutions to these problems.

Pumping slurry can be a challenging problem, but with the right instruction, pumping and maintenance plan, you will achieve operational success.
