Designed for latest FGD technology
Recent trends in the technology of FGD systems have
called for even higher flow capacity in order to reduce
installation cost and optimize efficiency.
Weir Minerals, realizing that modern absorber tech
nology would require new and innovative pump
designs, conducted a world-wide study of customers’
future requirements for Absorber Recycle pumps and
compiled a list of innovations that profiled the new
generation of Warman GSL pumps.
New high performance design
The results of this exercise culminated in the new
high performance GSL pump that combined the
features of the L pump, the benchmark for pumps
worldwide, with the latest materials, modern manufac
turing methods and hydraulic design developments.
New advancements in elastomer technology make
the liners highly resistant to vacuum and tearing
along with providing the ultimate in wear and
corrosion resistance.
The GSL pumps are designed to be either direct cou
pled to slow speed electric motors or directly driven
through gearboxes.
Warman GSL pumps represent experience-based
computer design, low operating costs, long wear life,
easy maintenance, and low ownership costs
Lowest cost of operation
Power consumption is by far the largest component of
operative costs. Being able to maintain the efficiency
throughout the life of the impeller guarantees the
lowest overall operating costs.
GSL pumps have the highest efficiencies in the indus
try achievable throughout the life of the impeller. The
GSL pumps were designed to achieve in excess of
90% in the best efficiency area.
