Slurry Pump Selection Overview
The purpose of this article is to provide an understanding of the important considerations for selecting a slurry pump for your application. There are many factors and considerations to ensuring the pump that your purchase is appropriately suited for your application needs. Proper pump sizing, motor power, performance requirements, slurry characteristics, and discharge head requirements are only a few of the things that must be factored into the slurry pump selection process.
What is a Slurry Pump
There are many different types of pumps available, and most pumps are designed for a specific purpose or type of application. Pumps that are designed to transfer thin fluids are different from pumps that are designed for thick, solid-laden, abrasive, heavy materials. Due to the difference in pump design between different types of pumps it is very important that the most appropriate pump be selected for your slurry application.
Slurry pumps are designed for pumping thick materials that can consist of such things as slurries, sand, gravel, mud, crushed rock, muck, manure, and many other highly viscous materials. Typically, a slurry is a mixture of a given material such as crushed rock and water. A slurry pump has the ability to move difficult thick material from the material source, into and through the pump, and downstream to its final destination.
Slurry pumps are inherently rugged by the nature of what they do and are capable of pumping high viscous and high specific gravity solid-laden slurries without clogging. The non-clogging aspect of a slurry pump design is one of the most critical differentiating factors compared to other pump types. These pumps perform in some of the harshest environments a pump could be applied to and are used in many industries including dredging, oil & gas, mining, frac sand pumping and many other industries.
How to Choose a Slurry Pump
The following list of 8 significant considerations are to help you understand your pump application necessities in relation to selecting the best-suited pump for your application. The greater the viscosity, specific gravity, abrasion, and other important fluid and non-fluid characteristics makes selecting a pump more difficult because these factors play into the situation at a greater level of importance, making the following application specifics even more critical.
Critical - Know Your Application!
Type of material will be pumped (sand, sludge, mud, muck, slurry, etc.). Knowing the characteristics of the material is critical for choosing the most suited slurry pump.
- Density of material to be pumped (specific gravity - 2.5 Sg, etc.)
- Viscosity of material to be pumped (1,000 centipoise (CPS), etc.).
- Operating temperature of material.
- The pH level - pH is a measure of hydrogen-ion concentration. An easy way to remember pH is that a pH of 7 is neutral, below 7 acid, and above 7 alkaline.
- High chrome steel is well suited for pH levels between 4 and 9. Duplex stainless steel is ideally suited for pH levels less than 3 and above 10.
- Flow rate required (example: 500 GPM or 100 cu. yards per hour [cu-yd/h]).
- Discharge Head (example: 100 PSIG).
The pump chosen must be able to surpass the total discharge head for the application. This helps to reduce the potential abrasion to the pump and discharge pipeline.
Length of inlet and discharge pipeline (example: 1,000-ft.).
Diameter of inlet and discharge pipeline (example: 4-in., 10-in., 12-in., etc.).
Pipeline material of construction (example: steel, polyvinyl chloride, cast iron, etc.).
Pump elevation in relation to fluid source.
Flooded suction (pump positioned below fluid source).
Submersible suction (pump positioned within fluid source).
Elevated suction (pump positioned above fluid source, pump must be self priming).
Match the Best Suited Pump to Your Application Requirements
Pump size must effectively produce a greater flow rate than the critical flow rate of the pump.
