How much solids damage can the customer tolerate?

First, what is a slurry? A slurry is a semi-liquid mixture, usually consisting of fine particles. Examples of slurries can include manure, cement, starch, or coal suspended in water. There are countless other combinations that can be considered slurries. Because of the added particles and thicker consistency, special pump requirements should be considered. A standard pump may be able to handle the fluid, but not as effectively as a properly sized slurry pump.

Again, to meet life cycle cost considerations, pumps should be equipped with large diameter impellers for lower operating speeds and longer wear life, as well as field replaceable rubber liners that can be bolted on for quick maintenance. In a typical coal-fired power plant, two to five pumps will be used in each spray tower.

Quenching is defined as the introduction of a neutral fluid (usually water or steam) into the atmospheric side of the seal to prevent the formation of solids that may interfere with movement or be used for other purposes.
