Development of Solids-Handling a Pipeline
T. R. Young Colorado School of Mines Research Foundation, lnc., Golden, Colorado
This paper traces the various stages in the development of a solids -handling pipeline. A p•reliminary evaluation is first made through the use of published Iiterature, and then laboratory tests and small-diameter pipe loop tests are made. The latter are important in minimizing the pilot-plant and large-scale pumping tests which must be carried out. The technical and economie feasibility of the proposed pipeline can then be evaluated, with due consideration for the over-all system.
