What do you mean by vertical pump exactly?
Waste water is not a slurry.

First question is where in the world is this located?
Second question is what sort of slurry are you looking at?
Then come all sorts of other questions, but without this information, the question is just too vague.
Do you need a pump with a tank, or a pump to be installed in a sump pit? Worldwide, Weir is one of the biggest and best know slurry pump companies, but ITT Goulds and KSB and FL Schmidt and a gazillion others located in China and India have many offerings.

When slurry is referenced in the pumping world, it is generally assumed to be some mixture of water and sand. Wastewater is generally considered as different from slurry and is harder to define because it may have rags, bottles, grease and whatever else may be sent down a drain.
Slurry pumps usually have hard metal (high chrome) or polymer-lined wet ends intended to deal with high wear conditions.
Wastewater pump wet ends are usually cast iron with recessed/vortex impellers or some kind of cutter/chopper arrangement to deal with plugging conditions.
These are very general statements.
