What LibertyCES's vendor documentation shows

V Series names Coal Prep, Effluent Handling, Floor Pumps and Sump Pumps — the ash-pit/floor-sump duty inside a coal or FGD plant. Real vendor caveat preserved: V Series has no published 'working pressures to' spec, recorded as not published rather than guessed. The no-submerged-bearings/seals design is why this architecture survives an ash sump where a conventional vertical pump's submerged seal is the failure point.

Products cited in this application

Schurco Slurry V Series (fully cantilevered vertical, discharge 1-1/2"-10", head max 160 ft, flow max 4,500 gpm; no submerged bearings/seals/packing, double-suction impeller, optional recessed impeller + suction agitator, optional large-particle impeller; metal pumps 27% chrome alloy casing, rubber pumps molded rubber on metal structure, snap-in/bolt-on upper and lower strainers)

Install / Failure Note

V Series' no-submerged-bearings/seals/packing design is a direct response to the failure mode a conventional vertical pump's submerged seal creates in an ash-pit or FGD floor sump — the seal simply isn't there to fail.

An ash-pit floor sump is exactly the environment a submerged mechanical seal fails fastest in — V Series' fully cantilevered, no-submerged-bearings design removes that failure point structurally, which is why it's named for floor pumps and sump duty specifically, not general slurry transport.
