Determine the operating parameters of the pump.

Is the discharge configuration suitable for abrasive slurries?

As described below, there are several , types of pumps, that are suitable for pumping slurries. However, before considering which technology to use, we must address several key issues.

If a centrifugal pump, is the design and material used to construct the impeller suitable for pumping slurries?

The size of slurry pump impeller must be considered to ensure it holds up against abrasive wear. Slurry pump impellers are generally larger in size when compared to slurry pumps for less abrasive liquids. The more “meat” the impeller has, the better it will hold up to the task of pumping harsh slurry mixtures. Just think of slurry pump impeller as a football team’s offensive line. These players are usually large and slow. Throughout the whole game they are beaten up, over and over again, but expected to withstand the abuse. You wouldn’t want small players in this position, just like you wouldn’t want a small impeller on your slurry pumps.

As new coal-fired power plants come on line to meet the growing demand for electricity in the US and around the world, there is an increasing need to clean plant emissions to meet clean air regulations. Special pumps help to operate these scrubbers efficiently and handle the abrasive slurries used in the flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) process.
