Introduction

The purpose of this book is, in a simple way, to describe slurry pumps, slurry pumping and the various parameters required when selecting submersible slurry pumps. To provide a deeper understanding of the calculations, a manual calculation example is given in the appendix of the book. If you are not sure about the type of slurry, the choice of pump, the design of the pipe system, etc., you can always contact your Grindex support for advice.

Slurry pumps

Slurry pumps are a heavy and robust version of centrifugal pumps, capable of handling tough and abrasive duties. Slurry pumps should also be considered a generic term, to distinguish them from other centrifugal pumps mainly intended for clear liquids.

Applications

Slurry pumps are used to move mixtures of liquid and solids in many industries with a broad spectrum of applications, for example mine drainage, dredging of settling lagoons and pumping of drilling mud. The purpose can be: To pump a medium where abrasive particles are present, To transport as much solids as possible, hydraulically, To pump the end product in a process. Grindex dewatering pumps are used in many different industrial segments like: Iron and steel, Power generation, Pulp and paper, Oil and gas, Mining, Mineral processing, Construction. Chapter 5 gives a brief overview of some common industries and applications for slurry pumps.
