The design of the slurry pump is critical to ensure that the abrasive and often corrosive aspects of the slurry do not damage the impeller. In addition, slurries and sludges may contain large amounts of unforeseen solids, which will inevitably clog many types of pumps. Since most centrifugal pump impellers have very tight tolerances on the worm gear, the abrasive (and sometimes corrosive) nature of the slurry will quickly wear down the worm gear and destroy the tolerances. In turn, this causes the pump to lose suction. This can lead to extensive downtime of the slurry pump, as well as expensive maintenance and spare parts.

Fine-grained sand can be extremely abrasive and typically wears slurry pumps quickly. Characteristics of coarse aggregates that can affect pump performance are size, shape and surface texture, as well as gradual changes in particle size, while fine materials can create excessive friction in the pipe.

The main objective of all flush water programmes is to prevent contamination of the seals by pumped water.The flush water programme for boxes is therefore very similar to the flush water programme for mechanically sealed boxes. However there are still some obvious mechanical differences. The most notable difference is the addition of a seal (packing) between the inlet and outlet limits. This minimises the amount of flushing fluid consumed.

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.
