Pump Offers Higher Capacity for Handling Abrasive Slurry
Aker Solutions’ new Wirth triplex doubleacting piston diaphragm (TDPM) pump
combines two well-established and proven
pumping principles for the transport of
high volumes of abrasive slurry. The Wirth
TDPM provides flow rates of up to 1,400
m3/h at discharge pressures up to 8 MPa in
the 3,000-kW input power version. This,
the company said, is a significant increase
in capacity compared with conventional
piston diaphragm pumps. The Wirth TDPM
3000 can be used for traditional applications such as slurry pipeline transport,
autoclave feeding, mine dewatering and
ore hoisting. Additionally, the pump is
claimed to be an efficient solution for
pumping thickened oil sand tailings.
