Currently, I am conducting a domestic (US) marketing research for a
new developed slurry pump. The pump can be used in both water and
petroleum based. Need flowing information.

1. Market outlook in the following industries (please include any URL or citation):
    a.Food processing
    b.Environmental / filtration (water /waste water)
    c.Mining

2. Identify the market potential in US for a 5-years period (how many
pumps may require replacement in the above three industries?). Please
explain your methodology.

3. Identify 2 major manufacturers/sellers in slurry pump industry.

Please include all the supporting information such as web site link,
book/journal information?etc.

Hi Max,
You have actually asked five questions, each of which is a significant
research task.  You might read the FAQs about how to get a better and
faster response.  If you post individual questions, more than one
Researcher can work on them, increasing the possibility that you will
at least get some answers by your deadline.  Price is also an
incentive, something that is perhaps not so important to you if this a
professional matter.

Good luck, Myoarin
