Aker Wirth - Piston Pumps, Diaphragm Pumps and High-Temperature Slurry Pumps

Slurry pumps predominantly used processing industries. Aker Wirth slurry pumps operate pressures 26MPa delivery volume 1,000m³/h 2,500kW.

Piston pumps – proven reliability

Aker Wirth introduced positive displacement pumps beginning 1900s pumps initially used drilling industry. Within Aker Wirth range piston pumps represent technically ultimately straight-forward solution – requiring lowest investment cost.

Piston diaphragm pumps – smart saver design

In minimize wear basic components involved transporting highly abrasive materials Aker Wirth developed piston-diaphragm pump 1968 used diaphragm intermediate medium prevent transported materials coming contact pump‘s pistons seal components.

High-temperature pumps – standard

High-temperature pumps used process engineering refining temperature medium being pumped exceeds 130°C. case example modern nickel refining operations. Here slurry temperature 160°C 210°C.

Three Aker Wirth piston diaphragm pumps type TPM 8¾in 14in installed minesite. pump handle flow rate 177m³/h maximum pressure 20Mpa. pumps driven 1,300kW electric motors variable frequency drives.

High-temperature autoclave diaphragm pumps Cawse Nickel

Aker Wirth delivered commissioned piston diaphragm pumps Cawse Nickel Operations Western Australia. piston diaphragm pumps DPM 9in 18in used nickel winning process feed pumps pump lateritic nickel slurry maximum 185°C into autoclave. pump designed flow rate 181m³/h discharge pressure 5Mpa. electric motor 335kW.

For process reasons slurry 185°C cannot cooled necessitates pumps incorporating unique cooling leg enables slurry immediate diaphragm cooled acceptable temperature.

Aker Wirth world's largest diaphragm pump

In June 2002 Inco Australia Management Pty. Ltd. Brisbane Australia placed Aker Wirth nine piston diaphragm pumps Goro Nickel Project Caledonia. scope supply Aker Wirth comprises type DPM 1,250 slurry duplex piston diaphragm pumps type DPM 1,250 pipeline pumps. pump discharge flow 720m³/h 85bar pressure motor capacity 1,900kW. pump's total amounts 80,000kg including motor. implies world's largest pumps built.

Two slurry diaphragm pumps feed reactor nickel laterite slurry. slurry temperature 130°C later changed 200°C. core applications slurry not cool requires fed into reactor original temperature.

On hand diaphragm cannot operate temperatures. cooling leg especially developed slurries slurry cooled provide max. 80°C diaphragm slurry not cooled process itself. follows technique used Cawse Nickel nineties.
