Pairing cell, not a vendor claim: AVCO does not name FGD/ash/coal-prep, but its named industries include chemical and wastewater, and the 6100's gates are polished/lapped on both sides with a machined bevel on the bottom edge specifically to cut through solids — the same solids-laden isolation problem the Schurco pumps above are sized for. Flagged as an engineering pairing, not a vendor-stated application.

| Schurco L Series named FGD application | L Series lined slurry pump names FGD applications, Ash Handling, and Coal Preparation explicitly among its typical applications | schurco-slurry.md |
AVCO's own marketing text references cast iron for the 6100 while its materials list names only 304SS/316SS/Hastelloy — a real discrepancy in AVCO's own copy, worth resolving with the vendor directly before quoting cast iron on this valve.
This is an engineering pairing, not a vendor-stated application — AVCO doesn't name FGD or coal-prep directly, but the 6100's bevelled, polished gate is built to cut through the same solids-laden media the Schurco L Series pump above it is sized for, which is the honest basis for recommending them together.
