A slurry is any mixture of a fluid (such as water) and a powdery solid. Slurries are used as a convenient way to handle bulk solids in the mining, steel processing, foundry, power generation and, more recently, frac sand mining industries. Slurries typically behave like viscous viscous fluids, flowing under gravity, but can also be pumped as needed.

Choosing The Right Slurry Pump For Your Application

Slurry pumps can also simply axially adjust the clearance between the impeller and the adjacent throat casing sealing surface. This helps to maintain pump performance when internal components begin to wear.

One of the most frequently asked questions from our team of pump experts is: How do I pump slurry? With this in mind, our team of experts have provided a useful guide to pumping slurry.

Low slurry flow rates

The most important thing here is to determine the pump power required to deliver a specific fluid flow at the desired or required differential pressure. Consider the following.
