At present the power plants in our country are mainly thermal power and hydro power. In the thermal power plant, through burning a large number of coal to generate power, the burned slag or ash need to be removed. At this time the slurry pump are used to clear the ash. So in the thermal power plant, the slurry pump is also used as ash pulp pump. In addition, because of the different working condition in the coal washing industry, the larger coal and coal gangue is easy to be blocked, the design demand for the slurry pump is very high. Though the slurry pump can be widely used in many fields, it is of great importance to use it correctly. Because of the name of the “slurry pump”, many people may have some misunderstanding. In fact, mud pump, trash pump, excavating pump, dredging pump are all in the application of the slurry pump. In the process of application of the slurry pump, we must pay attention to the reasonable design, the correct calculation and the right selection.
