What is slurry?

Pumping slurry can present some challenges and problems, but with proper engineering and equipment selection, you can experience years of trouble-free operation. It's important to work with a qualified engineer when selecting a slurry pump, because slurry can wreak havoc on a pump if not selected properly.

A slurry pump is a mechanical device used for the pressure-driven transfer of a fluid mixture (aka slurry). The fluid mixture consists largely of water as a liquid and solids as minerals, sand, gravel, human excrement, drilling mud or mostly crushed material.

As wear is a function of speed, slurry pumps should be operated at the lowest possible speed; units typically run at 1,200 rpm or less. Often, direct coupling between the pump and a low-speed motor or other drive makes the most sense. On the other hand, many other applications favour gearboxes to meet the required speed and operating point. In services where variable flow rates are required, variable frequency drives are used to provide the necessary continuous speed variation.

The basic mechanical seal flushing programme is very simple. It requires that a clear/clean fluid (usually water) is introduced into the space between the actual seal and the impeller side outlet restriction. The flushing fluid is introduced at a pressure higher than the pumping pressure, thus ensuring positive outflow/flushing of the mechanical seal and a clean operating environment.

The first major requirement for >slurry pumps is to provide adequate service life. The erosive and corrosive effects of slurries, such as the impact of high velocity flow of liquid/solid mixtures, can be really challenging. In many applications, some of the solids in the mixture are larger than the particles normally specified; therefore, the pump should be able to pass through them without causing any damage or operational problems.

Materials of qualified quality should be kept marked for reference when used. In order to remove the surface film, surface inclusion and other defects on the surface of the large roll galvanized wire on the surface of the sedimentary layer to the local surface, it can be found and treated by conventional technology; Excess foam is caused by soaps and saponable fatty surfactants being brought into the tank. Moderate foam formation rates may be harmless. The presence of small homogeneous particles of large denier in the tank can stabilize the foam layer, but the accumulation of too many solid particles can cause explosion.

The derusting steel parts are immersed in the melted zinc liquid at about 500℃, so that the surface of the steel member is attached with zinc layer, so as to achieve the purpose of anti-corrosion. The surface of galvanized wire coating can see whether the quality of galvanized wire is good or not. If the strength of zinc attached to the wire is very poor, then this galvanized wire do not buy, because this galvanized wire must be poor galvanized wire.

Zinc is a silver-white metal, brittle at room temperature, soluble in acid and alkali, known as amphoteric metal. Pure zinc is more stable in dry air, and small in humid air or water containing carbon dioxide and oxygen. A thin film layer of basic zinc carbonate will be formed on the surface, which can delay the corrosion rate of zinc layer. The corrosion resistance of galvanized layer in aqueous solution of acid, alkali and sodium chloride is relatively strong. It is also not resistant to corrosion in atmospheres containing carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide and in Marine atmospheres; In high temperature and high humidity air and containing organic acid atmosphere is small, galvanized layer is also easy to be corroded.
