Slurry Pipeline Principles & Applications

Slurry Pipeline Principles & Applications

Cape Town, South Africa

Paterson & Cooke has been presenting a course on slurry pipeline systems annually since 1995. Over the years the content has evolved and feedback from previous delegates has indicated a need to shift the emphasis from the theoretical aspects of slurry pipeline design to include additional practical content which focuses on a wide range of slurry pipeline applications.

Slurry pipelines are commonly used to transport mineral concentrates and ores and are replacing conventional bulk materials transport options such as road and rail. New developments in solids-liquid dewatering mean that it is possible to transport highly concentrated viscous slurries that behave differently from conventional slurries. It is important for those involved in slurry systems to understand these differences and this new format course provides delegates with a comprehensive introduction to the different types of slurries and their applications in the mining industry.
