ABSTRACT
This study deals with all the existing pumps located in Spin bath, ASSR &
Zinc recovery areas. The study also engaged with details such as their design,
required head calculations, Power requirement, and listing a number of problems
during operation. The problem is usually caused by inadequate control of the
pumped fluid or a change in operating requirements of which the system or pump
is not capable of handling or a component malfunction. I have listed the

PUMPS
Liquids have to be moved from one location to another and one level to another
within industrial spheres. In industries chemicals, petroleum products and in some
cases slurries have to be moved, by pumping.
Three types of pumps are generally used:
Rotodynamic pumps which move the fluid by dynamic action of imparting
momentum to the fluid using mechanical energy. Rotodynamic pumps i.e.
centrifugal and axial flow pumps can be operated at high speeds often directly
coupled to electric motors. These can handle from small volumes to very large
volumes. These pumps can handle corrosive and viscous, fluids and even slurries.
The overall efficiency is high in the case of these pumps. Hence these are found to
be the most popular pumps in use. Rotodynamic pumps can be of radial flow,
mixed flow and axial flow types according to the flow direction. Radial flow or
purely centrifugal pumps generally handle lower volumes at higher pressures.
Mixed flow pumps handle comparatively larger volumes at medium range of
pressures. Axial flow pumps can handle very large volumes, but the pressure
against which these pumps operate is limited. The overall efficiency of the three
types is nearly the same.
Reciprocating pumps which first trap the liquid in a cylinder by suction and then
push the liquid against pressure. Reciprocating pumps are limited by the low speed
of operation required and small volumes it can handle. For example oil metering
pump.
Rotary positive displacement pumps which also trap the liquid in a volume and
push the same out against pressure. Rotary positive displacement pumps are
limited by lower pressures of operation and small volumes these can handle. Gear,
vane and lobe pumps are of these types.
