What is a slurry pump?

It is also important to consider the chemical compatibility of the slurry with any elastomers in the pump. Once the nature of the slurry and the components of the different types of pumps have been addressed, you can select potential candidate slurry pumps for the application.

As the slurry is collected at the bottom of the tower, more rubber lined pumps are required to transfer the slurry to storage tanks, tailings ponds, waste treatment facilities or filter presses. Depending on the type of FGD process, other pump models are available for slurry discharge, pre-scrubber recovery and catch basin applications.

Compared to standard centrifugal pumps, centrifugal pumps optimised for slurry pumping usually have the following features.

For certain types of slurry pumping conditions, positive displacement pumps may be a more suitable option than centrifugal pumps.
