S3 Acid Slurry | Wilfley: Durable Waterless Sealing Industrial Pumps

Chemical-Acid Slurry Pump

The S3 pump was designed specifically for severe applications that are both corrosive and abrasive where an ANSI/ASME B73.1 is not enough.

Main Benefits

It does not require water for seals. Heavy-Duty design specifically design for acid slurries. High durability.

Main Applications

Mining and mineral processing. Phosphoric acid. Acid slurry applications.

Key Characteristics

Capacities:Flows up to 2,500 gpm (568 m 3/hr). Heads:Head up to 312 ft (95 m). Max Working Pressure:250 Psig (20 Bar). Max Temperature:250 °F (120°C). Discharge Sizes:From 2″ (50 mm) to 6″ (152 mm)

Tangential discharge reduces wear. Front and rear impeller vanes reduces wear. Extra heavy wall thickness extends wear life (1/4” corrosion allowance vs. 1/8” with standard ANSI/ASME). Heavy duty enclosed impeller promotes high hydraulic eciency and reduced casing wear. Pressure / temperature balance holes. The Wiley Waterless Sealt technology is the combination of Expeller and Solidlock. Robust shaft with low L3/D4 ratios minimizes deections and increases reliability. Easy clearance adjustment to maintain efficiency and optimize hydraulic and/or expeller performance.

Precision Engineering, Proven Reliability

The robust design of the Model S3 pump coupled with The Wilfley Waterless and Leakless Seal Technology have proven to extend service life in Canada’s demanding potash applications. Conventional packing and traditional pump designs failed to offer extended service life due to slurry concentration and occasional dry running conditions. Wilfley’s dynamic seal eliminates the need for gland related work orders and seal headaches to keep operations and maintenance focused on other aspects of potash production.

Founded in 1919, Wilfley engineers & manufacturers abuse-tolerant, heavy duty centrifugal pumps designed for continuous duty applications and maximum uptime in some of the most hostile and rugged environments across the world.
