Determine the nature of the material to be pumped

>Dredge pumps are a special category of pumps used in the dredging process. Dredging is the process of transporting submerged sediments (usually sand, gravel or rock) from one area to another. Dredging takes place in the shallow waters of lakes, rivers or seas for land reclamation, dredging, flood control, new harbours or expansion of existing harbours. The various industries that use dredge pumps are therefore the construction industry, mining, the coal industry and the oil and gas industry.

Under ideal conditions, a dredge pump can produce fluid acceleration greater than the speed of its fastest moving component.

If youve ever pumped a slurry, you know it can be one of the most challenging fluids to work with. It is abrasive, viscous, sometimes corrosive, and contains a lot of solids. Theres no doubt that the slurry on the pump is hard. But the more you know about whats being pumped, the better your pump selection will be, resulting in longer mean time between failures.xa0Next, the , slurry pump supplier, will share the following content with you.
