Abstract

The article discusses some of the variables to consider when characterizing a slurry and selecting a suitable pump for transporting those slurries in a plant. It mentions that slurry centrifugal pumps should have larger clearances than pure liquid pumps, to allow solids to pass through but also to reduce the velocity within the pump, thereby minimizing wear.
