2 Advanced Slurry Pumping & Pipelines Introduction The design of slurry pumping systems is considerably more complex compared to that of clean fluids. In addition to this, the information found in the public domain relating to this subject is somewhat academic and does not always give the practicing engineer the answers he or she needs to solve a particular problem. As a result, consultants who specialiseinslurriesareoftenemployedevenfortheless complex slurry pumping design or troubleshooting problems. The purpose of this two-day advanced seminar is to provide information and guidance on the design of slurry pumping and pipelines so that the practicing engineer can either (i) design slurry systems in-house, and/or (ii) more successfully interact with specialist slurry consultants and/or slurry pump manufacturers. Who Should Attend Consulting Engineers, Process Engineers, Design Engineers, Project Engineers, Slurry Pump & Piping Sales Representatives and anyone who needs to select, specify, commission, install and/or troubleshoot slurry pumping equipment and slurry pipelines. Delegate Pre-Requisites This is an advanced level seminar. For the maximum benefit to be obtained, it is recommended that each delegate is familiar with basic hydraulics theory and has had some previous exposure to slurry pumping systems. Those who have previously attended KASA s Pump Fundamentals and Liquid Piping Systems Fundamentals seminars should also be well placed to derive maximum benefit from this seminar. Seminar Objectives At the completion of this seminar, each delegate should be able to: Determine the relevant slurry properties in a laboratory environment. Understand how flow curves are derived from viscometer test results. Understand the principles of scaling-up from small-scale pipe loop tests, t tube viscometers or existing pipelines for the purposes of designing full-scale pipelines for the same slurry. Understand the principles of determining head loss in both settling and non-settling slurries using the relevant theoretical models and/or laboratory test results. Seminar Objectives Continued Determine the Deposit Velocity (aka Limiting Settling Velocity ) by calculation for a settling slurry. Be aware of the effects of particle size and solids concentration with respect to de-rating of pump performance for a particular slurry. Appreciate the advantages and disadvantages of the more commonly used slurry pipeline materials so that material selection can be carried out in a more informed manner. Be aware of the more common pipeline operational issues. Determine whether a centrifugal slurry pump or a positive displacement pump is a better choice for a particular application. Have a greater understanding of the more commonly available centrifugal and positive displacement pumps used for slurries. Be aware of various slurry pump operational issues, recommended piping configurations and component choices (i.e. seals, packing, liners etc). Training Seminar Materials All delegates receive: Detailed Seminar Notes Which provides a hardcopy of the slides presented during the seminar as well as extra worked example problems and reference notes. Certificate of Attendance Which states the number of hours of training and serves as documentary proof of attendance. Partner Organisations This seminar is a joint presentation by KASA Redberg (Australia), BHR Group (United Kingdom) and Pipeline Systems International (Australia).
