This program for personal computers helps design Newtonian liquid, settling slurry and non-settling slurry pipelines. A specific pump or series of pumps can be evaluated at desired operating conditions.

The software selects the pump that delivers the maximum efficiency for the pipeline system specified and plots the system curve and selected pump curve. Other pump and slurry characteristics are calculated and displayed.

The slurry pipeline friction calculations are based on semi-empirical approach developed by instructors of GIW's annual slurry course, "Transportation of Solids Using Centrifugal Pumps." Results from hundreds of slurry tests in the GIW Hydraulic Testing Laboratory and in the field were used to develop and verify the theoretical predictions.

SLYSEL Lite is available to GIW customers only. SLYSEL Lite's pump file contains information on over 3000 centrifugal slurry pumps. Branch diameters vary from two inches (51 mm) to 44 inches (118 mm). The tested water performance for the pumps on file may be modified automatically for slurry solids effect using algorithms based on ANSI / HI 12.1-12.6 2005 tests run in the GIW Hydraulic Testing Laboratory.
