Wilson,
There are more similarities with slurry piping and petrochemical than one might think.
Let me first address the above comment by 11echo regarding centrifugal pumps. PCP’s together with peristaltic pumps are used in slurry application but are very limited. They’re best suited for homogenous, fine particle pastes and slimes respectively. Slurries are, by definition, fluid mediums containing anything from 25mm particles to 25 microns. The Mono pump that reliably handles 2mm particles would really be something to behold. Of the slurry applications 95% utilize centrifugal pumps.
The biggest considerations with slurry are naturally the wear rate, as well as necessary velocity. These are of course mutually exclusive. Wear rate in pipelines increases by the square of the velocity. But for heterogeneous slurries i.e. solids concentrations of less than 30% by volume (rough rule of thumb), the average velocity would need to be large enough and pipe diameter small enough to eliminate settling out of the particles and blockage - in the order of 2.5 to 3 m/s.
Your biggest wear components are your reducers, elbows, pump impeller and pump nozzle. Eccentric reducers for liquids are usually top flat, for slurries bottom flat. A top flat reducer creates an impingement site for the particles concentrated towards the bottom of the pipe. Elbows should be 3D or 5D bends. This is not only from a wear point of view but also to reduce drag. Pump impellers are not like that for water distribution. Clearances are greater and the impellers are hardened chrome for larger particles slurries and rubber lined for finer tailings and slimes. Because of the wear rate, especially for a badly selected pump curve, the piping arrangement for both discharge and suction lines should allow quick turn-around for casing disassembly. Natural rubber lined piping is the norm and really is unrivalled as an economic compensation for wear rates. However, on very large pumps, the churning transmitted by the impeller “swirls†back through the suction line into the sump / tank. These components should have a more exotic lining example ceramic. Polyethylene piping is also a very good alternative. For tight bends and installations many applications utilize reinforced rubber lined, industrial hose – but not of pump suctions.
As for piping arrangements, vertical lines are good. The majority of slurry processes, excepting overland pipelines, try to use gravity feed as much as possible. The philosophy is therefore to use large pumps to pump vertically to a convenient datum and then allow gravitation through the process equipment.
Instead of 90 elbows use two 45’s with a spool piece between
Avoid dead and dog legs
Space flush points every 5m – for high concentration slurries
Avoid branch entry tees – especially for your parallel pumping use lateral tees and y-branches
Avoid butterfly valves – even rubber lined ones, use diaphragm or pinch valves
Make sure the piping engineer specs the pipe for water hammer
Pipeline discharge should ideally be to atmosphere
Pump discharge should be vertical or 45 degrees up or top horizontal discharge. Avoid bottom horizontal discharge as air entrainment in the casing with cause cavitation and de-sliming.
As a research objective try and visit any website that shows pictures of a mineral sands plant. That should give a lot of hints
