Title: Coal log abrasion in pipelines

Abstract

Coal log pipeline (CLP) is an emerging technology for long-distance transportation of coal that has many potential advantages over conventional modes of coal transportation including truck, unit train, and slurry pipelines. For CLP to be technically and economically feasible, the coal logs must be water-resistant and wear-resistant. No more than 3% of weight loss due to wear can be tolerated during pipeline transport. This paper gives data that suggest that such logs can be produced by compaction in a mold. Various factors that affect coal-log wear resistance are described, and methods to produce high-quality logs are discussed. Both laboratory and field tests data are used.
