Assuming a range of generic slurry pump designs with similar features, wear inside the slurry pump is independent of the design size, but varies quite significantly with head per stage, solids size, and solids concentration. Wear rate of the suction liner component limits and determines downtime cost. While the wear rates of the suction liner, shell, and impeller components vary significantly with operating speed, the total operating cost (for the same transport rate) is independent of the specific speed or size of the generic pump. Downtime occurrences may be correlated to the pump design, specific speed, (or speed), and head per stage produced. Downtime cost may be shown to be large in relation to the pump capital cost.
