EDDY Pump has many decades of experience providing industrial dredge products to countless industries and companies worldwide. Many of the companies that EDDY Pump provides its world-leading industrial pumps and equipment, and dredge pumps to, are looking for a strategic advantage against their competition. With this being said, EDDY Pump understands the advantages customers can experience with renting industrial pumping equipment instead of buying it. That is why EDDY Pump chooses to provide customers the option of renting or rent-to-buy when a lot of other companies force their customers to make an expensive purchase which can limit the financial resources they have for funding other areas of their business!

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.

The U.S. Navy Saved $17,000,000.00 Dollars by using the Eddy Pump.

Over 4 years, the total cost of the Eddy Pump vs our competition. Lets Explore.

See the FULL Report https://eddypump.com/navysavings

Lockheed Martin, one of the largest Defense Companies in the world was tasked to find the best sewage transfer pump for a new fleet of US Government ships. They turned to the US Navy to gather 3M Naval Maintenance records. This shows maintenance cost and details across all of the US Navy on equipment they operate.

Based on this data Lockheed Martin put together a Total Cost Analysis that compared twenty-five 3-inch Eddy Pumps with controllers to twenty-five of the leading centrifugal pumps. This information spanned 4 years from 2002 to 2006.

This analysis compared 4 key items, Acquisition Cost, Overhaul & Replacement cost, Corrective Actions, and finally Maintenance cost.

As you can see from the numbers, the big difference over 4 years is the cost of corrective action, which is replacing broken parts, manpower to fix, and downtime.

The Eddy Pump costs were $359,000.00 Versus $18,000,000 in corrective action costs for 25 centrifugal pumps. The use of 25 Eddy Pumps over 4 years saved the US Navy $17,717,000.00.

No other pump on the market has a total life-cycle cost as low as the Eddy Pump. Many companies sell cheap pumps because they know they will make their money on high priced spare parts, but not the Eddy Pump!

Pump slurries and dredge with your existing excavator and transport of some of the highest percentage solids in the industry.


Video Transcript.

Traditionally dredging has been expensive, slow to setup and labor intensive. This is no longer the case.

EDDY Pump is changing the face of dredging and material transport with the Excavator Dredger. Combine your existing excavator with our patented Eddy Pump Excavator Attachment Dredger to make a mobile super dredger.

Attach this American built unit and deploy the same day. Use a single operator from land or floating barge. Train any excavator operator how to run our pump in a couple hours. No need to find a high priced dredge operator!

This first segment features a 10-inch excavator attachment on a floating barge, pumping sand at a distance of close to a mile with 80-ft of elevation, without the use of a booster pump. The pump and cutter head are powered by a hydraulic power unit sitting on the barge.

Achieve production rates up to 400 cubic yards of material per hour at solids rates of up to 70%.

The cutterhead in this video is used to break up material and agitate it for increased solids uptake.

Pump Attachment agitators include cutterhead, high pressure water jetting ring and also a liner safe wheel setup to prevent liner damage.

Land Based Long Boom Deployment

Another popular use for our equipment is for sand and aggregate mining. Here you see a sand pit mining operation using their existing excavator coupled with a long boom for 65 feet of reach. The discharge hose can be left floating or plumbed to run over the boom arm.

This setup is ideal for sand and aggregate pits, mine tailings ponds, canals, poly lined sludge pools and more.

Crane Based Deployment

This barge unloading application is a crane based deployment. The featured unit has a high-pressure water jetting ring option for material breakup and liquefaction of material. A similar setup can be used for railcar unloading or desludging applications.

The EDDY Pump can handle high solids, grit, and abrasives between 30 to 70 percent solids. The unique pump design fights wear from abrasives and aggressive materials. The open rotor design has best in class material pass through. The 8-inch Eddy Pump in this video can pump up to 7-inch solids. An impossible feat with a centrifugal pump of this size.

The same unit in this video can be cable deployed for dredging down to 1000 feet or submerged for diver operation and dredging hard to reach locations under structures.

The Excavator Mounted Dredge Pump can be deployed in various ways, pump higher solids with less water, thus making it one of the most versatile excavator work tools on the market.
