Slurry pump for Oil drilling solids control

In oil drilling, solids control system including many pumps. Slurry pump is one type among them. Lets find more information on slurry pumps

Slurry pump introduction

Slurry pump is heavy-duty constructed centrifugal pump, which is able to deal tough and abrasive duties. The term slurry pumps is consider a generic term, to separate from other type centrifugal pump, this one mainly use to intended for clear liquids.

Why submersible slurry pump is popular with many solids control users? Submersible slurry pumps can be used to transfer fluids with big particles. It is single stage and single suction slurry pump. The pump shell and impeller no bearing, no shaft seal, which can pump medium with quantity of solid particles at lower maintenance cost

Submersible slurry pumps in solids control

Submersible slurry pumps have a very simple structure to ensure maximum performance, minimum energy consumption, long operating life and minimum maintenance. Many different designs can suit various transportation request in process application of grinding circuits, hydrocyclone feed and slurry transfer.

Vertical slurry pumps are widely used in many solids control systems. This kind of pump can be divided into two kinds, the tank pump and cantilever/sump pumps. The tank pump is considered as dry installed pumps and the sump is incorporated in the pump. It opens inlet to prevent air blocking and operate smoothly. The cantilever structure is single stage and suction with housing bearing, supporting the intermediate pipe connect it to pump’s hydraulic components. The water is exit out from the drainage. The impeller is semi-shrouded with the agitation vane on the extension. The main point on this pump is underwater shaft part contain enough rigidity, the impeller and pump should not have bearing and seal so it can be deliver greater medium of the solids cutting.

Slurry pumps for solids control

The submersible slurry pumps can be installed in mud tank or mud pit to transfer drilling fluid to shale shaker or centrifuge, so it can be in HDD jobsite. Very easy and convenient to operate.To provide users more convenience we can also provide control panel, cable connection between slurry pump motor and panel

Other applications of submersible pump

In many industries, slurry pumps are used to keep liquid and solids in mix with large spectrum of usage, such as mine drainage, dredging of setting lagoons and pumping of drilling mud. Slurry pump purpose can be pump the medium where abrasive particles are available. It also transfers as much solids as possible, hydraulically. It pumps the final product in the process. Many industrial segment use this pump like iron and steel, power generation, paper industry, oil and gas, wastewater treatment, mining, process mineral and other few
