Coal-log pipeline system development
The objective of this study is to demonstrate that the amount of binder in coal logs can be reduced to 8% or below to produce logs with adequate strength to eliminate breakage during pipeline transportation under conditions experienced in long distance pipeline system. In addition the study will perform the necessary development to demonstrate a small model of the most promising injection system for coal-logs; test the logs from Task 1; conduct economic analysis of coal-log pipeline, based upon the work to date; and refine and complete the economic model. A detailed literature search in coal agglomeration has been conducted. This includes all the known previous attempts to agglomerate coal. Some important findings are listed. Some very preliminary tests have been done on making coal logs with and without binder. A small-scale demonstration unit of a coal log pipeline (CLP) has been designed. It uses 1 1/4-inch transparent plastic pipe and the loop is approximately 128 feet in length. The design is shown in a figure; construction has not begun as yet. 1 fig.
