07DEWATERING · SLURRY TRANSFER
Mining & construction
Start with the solids and the conditions at the suction point.
Site water and pumpable slurries can vary as sediment settles or the work area changes. A useful duty description includes the largest particles, abrasiveness and how far the pump sits above the liquid. Thick, poorly flowing material needs a separate handling assessment.
Typical media
- Site water
- Pumpable slurries
- Process chemicals
Process duties
- Drain collection points and work areas
- Move slurry or process liquids between stages
What to check
Check solids passage and valve design against the actual particles. Review hose diameter, suction lift and available compressed-air volume as well as pressure. Account for access to wearing components and the installation’s environmental conditions.
Share solids size, concentration, suction lift and the available air supply.
