Solution
The solution was to use 3” Wilden Brahama Air Diaphragm Pump. These pumps have can pump viscous abrasive sludge easily and have a 3” solids passage and are also must more cost effective to maintain.
They trialled one pump and it worked so well they ordered a second pump to replace the other centrifugal vortex pump!
