Sump drainage or washdown

Submersible slurry pump pumps offer many advantages over dry and semi-dry (cantilever) mounted pumps.

With the development of the dredging market, the requirements for dredging equipment are getting higher and higher, and the suction resistance and vacuum of dredging pumps are getting higher and higher, which has a great impact on the efficiency of dredging pumps and the chance of cavitation is getting higher and higher. The number of >dredging pumps is also increasing.

The FGD process begins when the limestone feed (rock) is reduced in size by crushing it in a ball mill and then mixed with water in a slurry supply tank. The slurry (approx. 90% water) is then pumped into the absorption tank. As the consistency of the limestone slurry tends to change, suction conditions can occur which can lead to cavitation and pump failure.

In a subsea installation, the slurry pump runs directly in the slurry and does not require a support structure, which means it is flexible and easy to install. If possible, the catch basin should be equipped with sloping walls to allow sediment to slide down into the area directly below the pump inlet. Agitators should be used when the liquid contains large amounts of solids and has a high particle density. Freestanding or side-mounted (submersible) mixers are an excellent choice for resuspended solids, especially if the catch basin is large or does not have sloping walls.

Slurry pumps with rubber lining are the ideal pump for the mineral sand industry. They have a special rubber lining that makes them heavy duty pumps capable of withstanding high levels of abrasion.
