Recommendation for slurry pump consultant
(OP)
At our mine site we have all types and sizes of pumps and there appears to be plenty of room for optimization. I am interested in bringing in a pump consultant who has had extensive experience with pumping a high-solid slurry.
There are plenty of pump reps available who are helpful but it is in our best interest to have a non-partial engineer on-site.
Any recommendations on where to look for such a consultant?
Thanks in advance.

You might want to look for an "impartial" engineering consultant.

I don't know if he's still around, but one of the best I knew was Jerry Miller of Miller Engineering in Tucson. He was in his 70s and still driving to Montana for sales calls some years back. They specialized in mining industry equipment. He must be retired by now, had a lot of energy and was absolutely honest.

It might help if you mentioned what part of the world you're in.
