Submersible Slurry Pump Is Well Used For Drilling Mud Transfer From Mud-Pit To Mud Equipment Or Mud Storage Tank

Submersible slurry pump application

Submersible Slurry Pump by AIPU is used to pumping of thick oil, oil residue, dirty oil, mud, mortar, running sand, and other liquids from the municipal sewerage, so its application industry can be related with many, such as environmental protection, new-type building materials, coal washing, municipal projects, thermal power generation, coal gas coking plant, refinery, steel mills, mining, paper making, cement plant or food production factory.

How to select the submersible slurry pump?

For the pump feeding centrifuge, we need to consider the centrifuge flow rate. For the pump feeding shaker in the HDD mud system, we should consider the whole mud system flow rate. And then the submersible length is another issue that affects configuration or design. We can supply a pump to meet submersible depth up to 3m. How to achieve this? By extension pipe connected to the input port.

Submersible slurry pump installation

If the pump installs onto the mud tank, there is a level plate on the pump under the motor, the plate is designed to bolt on the tank top. The pump can be installed into a mud pit as well with a built simple platform to bolt the pump level plate. The vertical design is maximized to reduce its footprint especially when it’s installed on the tank top.

Below technical specification for your reference.

Submersible slurry pump features

Self-suction design is maximum increased pump efficiency. The submersible pump is a highly effective pump that compares centrifugal pump, screw pump, diaphragm pump, or multiple centrifugal pumps. All bearings above fluids make pump-free maintenance nearly zero cost for spares. Depth from level plate to pump suction point is customized from 1.0 to 1.8 meters. Standard depth 1.3 meters without special request.

More details of submersible slurry pump

The submersible slurry pump is another kind of centrifugal pump. But it's more durable and strong than a common pump. It can transfer many different kinds of hard materials, including sand, cement, particles, shale, etc. So, it meets many requirements in different industries. The main structure includes impeller, pump case, shaft, bearing, motor, supporting frame, etc.

Handling capacity is from 30m³/h to 120m³/h. The pump performance including flow rate, heat, pressure. They will affect each other on the performance.

Drilling fluids are transferred to desilter cones by centrifugal pump from the desander tank or compartment. Desilter cone is fed by a desilter pump with fluids out of the desander. Under pump pressure, the fluids run into cones and flow with centrifugal force. Then the heavy particles will deposit down and pushed out of the cone drop in Apex. Particles larger than 15 microns will be separated of drilling mud.

For HDD and another mud system in civil construction, the slurry pump can be set over a mud pit on a frame or support bar. The pump inlet port is submerged in pit or tank to transfer drilling mud into shaker. While in the oil drilling mud system, the slurry pump will be set on a desilter tank or compartment. If we have 2 sets of centrifuge, then 2 sets of slurry pump requested. Some users, they prefer the screw pump, since the screw pump is the progressive pump. But the submersible slurry pump is more durable and high resistance to sand or cuttings in the drilling fluids. Moreover, the bearing and connection between the motor and pump body are above liquid level, so there is no need to maintain the pump. Higher efficiency and lower cost.
