Case-study engineering rule, direct quote: 'Centrifugal pumps were never going to survive in that slurry. We spec'd the QUANTM because it reduced the prior seal-failure mode, and we tied it into SCADA so the plant never has to fly blind again' — James Riggins. Abrasive slurry duty should avoid centrifugal pumps (seal failure mode) and specify electric diaphragm instead.
Centrifugal pumps were never built to survive continuous abrasive-slurry duty — the mechanical seal is the failure point. James Riggins specified Graco's QUANTM electric diaphragm pump on this mining job specifically to remove that failure mode, then tied it into SCADA so the plant isn't finding out about a seal failure the hard way.
