Course 1 - Slurry Pumps

Description:

This expanded course will cover the specification, operation and maintenance of slurry pumps used in a wide variety of applications. The focus will be on the differences between slurry and non-slurry pumping applications, with many real-world examples given. This course is intended for engineers and technicians who are involved in the specification, reliability improvement or operation of slurry pumping systems.

Course Outline:

• The basics of slurry pipeline flow, including settling and non-settling slurries and deposition velocity

• Slurry classification and its impact on pump selection

• Construction and operation of both centrifugal and positive-displacement slurry pumps
