Slurry transportation: looking beyond the pump

Emerson, The Lubrizol Corporation, Valmet and Weir.

Slurry transportation systems rely on pumps to impart kinetic energy to the slurry. Without them, the slurry would not move; however, pumps do not exist in isolation. North American Mining examines two other critical elements in slurry transportation – valves and pipelines – with the help of experts from Emerson, The Lubrizol Corporation, Valmet and Weir. by Jonathan Rowland Efficient…
