Crystallizing/hardening slurry is a chemistry/mechanics mismatch, not an undersized-pump problem. Single-roller peristaltic hose pumps have no valves, seals, or glands in the fluid path for the chemical to crystallize in.
Confidence: confirmed. Source: data/case-studies/solotech-lime-slurry.md.
Peristaltic (hose) pumps wet only the hose — no check valves, no seals, no glands in the fluid path — which is the correct architecture for abrasive, solids-bearing leach streams, extending the existing abrasive-slurry-no-centrifugal and crystallizing-slurry-no-valves-seals rules with a second, independent roster vendor confirmation specific to leach-circuit duty. Graco SoloTech is already the roster's confirmed peristaltic line (real lime-slurry case study on file); ProMinent's DULCOFLEX line (captured 2026-09-10, prominent-mining.md) is a second, independent confirmation of the identical hose-only architecture, named by ProMinent specifically on its dedicated mining/heap-leaching and solvent-extraction pages. Specify CSM/Hypalon hose, not generic EPDM, for concentrated acid or caustic leach solution contact.
Confidence: confirmed. Source: data/vendor-sources/prominent-mining.md, data/case-studies/solotech-lime-slurry.md.
LibertyCES specifies and supplies the pumps, valves, tanks, piping, and instrumentation that store, transfer, meter, and contain fluids like lime slurry — never the fluid itself, always the equipment engineered to handle it.

No. LibertyCES supplies the equipment that stores, transfers, meters, and controls fluids like lime slurry (pumps, valves, tanks, piping, instrumentation). It does not supply the fluid itself.
Published rules on this page: Crystallizing Slurry No Valves Seals; Peristaltic For Abrasive Leach Streams. Each links to its full rule page with confidence rating and source.
No. It is a screening reference compiled from published vendor data and LibertyCES field rules. Ratings depend on concentration and temperature; confirm against the manufacturer data sheet and your actual duty point, or request a free spec review.
