    This document outlines the method statement for designing a sludge pumping and piping system. It will size slurry pipes to prevent solids deposition using limiting settling velocity calculations. Slurry pumps will be designed to handle abrasive particles using wear-resistant materials. The execution plan involves determining fluid properties, line sizing, pump sizing, creating P&IDs, preparing datasheets and documentation, surge analysis, and fabrication drawings. The design will be completed within 60 days using software like Pipenet, AutoCAD, and MS Office by a team of process, piping, and mechanical engineers.

    Method Statement – Sludge Pumping & Piping Design

    1. Introduction:

    Project scope is to design the Slurry Transfer system comprising of Slurry Pumps and Piping from existing
    plant facility to Tailing Dam.

    Slurry consists of Fine and Course particles, they will be separated in Cyclone separation system and fine
    slurry is transferred to tailing dam and coarse slurry is transferred for back filling after mixing it with
    cement in Mixers.

    Current installation is only compromising of slurry transfer to Tailing dam with a valve manifold
    (diversion for backfilling for future).

    2. Slurry Piping
    Slurries containing solid particles essentially coarser than 50 microns are transported in suspension by a
    liquid in a pipe, providing the average velocity, V is no less than the limiting settling velocity V L. At any
    velocity below VL, solids are deposited in the pipeline. This results in increased pipeline friction head
    loss, with reducing flow rate and may lead to a blockage of the pipeline.

    In order to determine VL accurately, it is necessary to conduct tests with the slurry on a pipeline test rig.
    As a practical alternative, where this is not possible, the V L may be established by a skilled specialist or
    estimated by one of the following methods, each based on Durand’s formula:

    Durand’s Formula VL = FL √2gd(S - Sl) / S1

    3. Slurry Pump

    Slurry pump is a general term for a pump that handles abrasive slurry. They may be considered an end
    suction pump, vertical column pump, or submersible pump.

    Key Features:

    Pumps are constructed either of high nickel cast iron (white iron) to withstand the abrasive wear of
    slurries, or the pump is lined with rubber for more round-edged slurries. Pumps often have replaceable
    wear plates on one or both sides of the impeller.

    Applications Used

    Mining, minerals processing, transportation of slurries for processing, and dredging . Also pumps used in
    slurry applications in coal fired power plants, steel mills, cement mills, etc.

    Recommended Media (Fluid)

    Very abrasive liquids of all types

    Advantages

    Ordinary pumps wouldn't withstand the abrasive wear that slurries cause on pump parts. Slurry pumps
    are designed to handle abrasive slurries and give pumps the longest life possible.

    Flow Rate Ranges

    10- 30,000 gpm

    Total Head (Pressure) Ranges

    30 - 250 ft

    HP Ranges

    1 -2000 hp

    4. Execution Plan:
    Step 1: Determining Fluid Properties

    Following properties / parameters required to execute the pump hydraulics and line sizing:

     Flow rate
     Density
     Specific heat
     Thermal conductivity
     Viscosity

    Step 2: Line Sizing

    Pipe lines are to be sized based on allowable limits of erosional velocity and pressure drops.

    Step 3: Pump Sizing

    Pumps are sized by calculation TDH and Power requirement

    Step 4: Piping & Instrumentation Diagram

    After the equipment’s and lines sizing Piping and Instrumentation diagram is prepared consisting of
    necessary instrumentation and valves for the safe and easy operation of the system.

    Step 5: Datasheets and Required Project documentaion

    Followed by PID’s datasheets for equipment’s & instruments will be prepared for getting vendor offers
    and procurement. All necessary documentation for the project will be provided as per agreed scope.

    Step 6: Surge Analysis

    Based on the criticality Surge analysis will be performed and the forces are used for pipe supports.

    Step 7: Preparation of Fabrication Drawings

    GA drawing and piping drawing will be prepared after completion of process design

    5. Software’s / Design Tools

    a. Pipenet Transient Module


    b. AutoCAD.
    c. MS office & Adobe PDF
